As I recall, Thunderbird's spam filter is actually based on SpamBayes. 
Again, as I recall, there is a difference in the tokenizing that 
Thunderbird does as compared to SpamBayes. SpamBayes tokenizing is more 
"complete."

I use Thunderbird. Instead of it's built-in filter, I use SpamBayes. It 
definitely seems to work better than Thunderbird's built-in filter.
