<p>A useful(?) glossary of terminology</p>
<dl>
! <dt>spam<dd>broadly speaking: any email that's not wanted by the
! end-user. More specifically: unsolicited bulk email; email
! that you do not want and did not ask for, and was sent to
! a whole bunch of people by automated means at the same time
! it was sent to you. This definition deliberately excludes viruses
! and those stupid jokes sent to you by your Aunt Tillie.
!
! <dt>ham<dd>the opposite of spam; not necessarily email that you want or
! that you asked for, just anything that's not unsolicited bulk email.
<dt>false negative<dd>a spam that's incorrectly classified as ham.
<dt>false positive<dd>a ham that's incorrectly classified as spam.
+ <dt>f-n, FN<dd>(abbrev.) false negative
+ <dt>f-p, FP<dd>(abbrev.) false positive
