currently, does spambayes treat a URL as a single token or is it parsed
somehow?
it would seem that if URLs were parsed you would be able to train
spambayes to detect mail for odious content based on components of the link.
take the example: http://check.myspam.com/ad/junk?random=fsldkjflksj
it would seem that the most accurate way to evaluate this would be to
parse using '/' (starting after 'http://'). that would allow spambayes
to evaluate the domain (check.mypam.com) while giving it the ability to
differentiate between directories (which may map to users on ISP
systems: http://user.aol.com/niceguy vs. http://user.aol.com/spammer).
