    Well I must say that it works great!

    I have just installed Mozilla 1.3beta, which has a spam detector based
    on Bayesan networks. Every so often I check out my "Junk" folder, and
    cannot help but giggeling when I see all the spam in there which I have
    never had to read.

    So far it hasn't generated a single false positive.

    If only it could be used for sorting newsgroup and maillists for
    relevance I would be a happy camper.
