Summary: Enhancements to easier train exceptions

Initial Comment:
Once I've trained spambayes a bunch I'd like to train just 
the exceptions. This means that I'd like to discard email 
messages that are correctly categorized and only train on 
messages that are mis-categorized.  Unless I'm missing 
an option that is there what I would like is the ability on 
the training window to click on a button that would set 
the toggle buttons for all messages to discard, or all 
messages to ham or all messages to defer or all messages 
to spam.  Then I can change the toggle button for the 
exceptions and submit.

In other words, have:

[discard all] [defer all] [mark all as ham] [mark all as 
spam] [Train]

The "all" buttons wouldn't train but just set the the 
toggles in the GUI.

So the use case might be:

Notice that message 1 and 28 are categorized as ham 
and should be spam out of 50 messages, while all the 
other messages (2-27, and 29-50) are classified correctly 
as ham. Click on [discard all] which sets the toggles for 
all to "discard", then use the mouse to click on the spam 
toggle for message 1 and then message 28 and then hit 
the [Train] button. Only 1 and 28 are used to train.

Another use case might be:

I sign up for a mailing list.  I get inundated with email 
from list, 100 messages.  spambayes categorizes some as 
ham, some as spam and some as unsure.  I click on the 
[mark all as ham] and then click on the [train] button so I 
don't have to go through and click on the toggle for each 
message.


Thanks!

If you click on the Discard/Defer/Spam/Ham headings, all the 
messages in that category will be set to that classification.  
(The text at the top of the page explains this).

In addition, if you want to change the default action for any 
of the categories, you can do this (in 1.0a9 and above) via 
the Advanced Configuration page.
