So that everybody tokenizes the incoming messages in the same way,
particularly the same way as that used earlier during training.

Also, I'd have the server keep track of spam from other sources,
such as UseNet news.  Is there anywere else where spam messages
show up that might need to be included, or is it just mail and
news?
