Summary: Don't count classified spam as new mail

Initial Comment:
I found what "turns me on" and "off" to spam filters is 
their ability NOT to falsely indicate the arrival of new 
mail.  If a message is classified as spam, it would be 
nice if SpamBayes would not indicate it as new mail 
(sounds/tray icon envelope).

I just checked in a notification sound mechanism to latest
CVS. There isn't any UI for configuring it yet, so for now
you'll need to configure it manually as per the instructions
in patch [ 858925].

What might be a simple solution/work-around would be hto 
ave SpamBayes play a sound when it classifies a message as 
ham. I could then disable Outlooks builtin notification feature 
which plays a sound whenever any message is received even 
if its junk. 

You could also do the reverse and play a sound when spam is 
detected, I'm sure some people would enjoy hearing their 
spam going through the shredder. :)

Greetings.

With respect to FAQ 3.9, it says, "Until someone comes up 
with a clever solution for all of this...".

It looks like someone has: the author of Spammunition, a free 
bayesian Outlook add-in.  Spammunition is similar to 
SpamBayes (I like SpamBayes better; it's more effective), but 
Spammunition includes an option to turn off the "new mail" 
icon if it moves spam out of your Inbox and there are no 
unread mesages remaining there.  Outlook will still play a 
sound/open a pop-up when something arrives, if you have 
Outlook configured that way.  With Outlook configured to play 
a sound, and Spammunition configured to turn off the icon 
when appropriate, you know spam has arrived because you'll 
hear the sound, but the icon doesn't show up.

Spammunition hasn't been updated in quite a while, but the 
author posted a news item on his web site saying he was 
trying to make it an open source project, so perhaps you 
could recruit him...

See http://www.upserve.com for information.

I've sent him an e-mail referencing this project.

Sincerely,

Dale Freck

Hmm.  That is an interesting idea.  I'll change this back to 
open and see what Mark thinks of it.

All too clear now.  Thank you for your prompt response.  An 
alternative solution would be to create a spambayes icon and 
update it upon success or filter.  An example that I have 
seen is JunkOut (which uses a Bayesian filter also).  Just a 
suggestion. :)
