[Tutor] Bayespam...questions? (fwd)

[Daniel Yoo]

Hi Steve,

I haven't had the opportunity to work with bayesian filters yet.
spambayes is being actively developed, but hasn't been nicely packaged or
documented yet.

Let me forward your question to the other Tutors; perhaps someone there
can better answer your questions!

yet, am i correct? have you used or done any work with this. i am very
intrigued with the concept of bayesian type probabilty filters.
