This is CVS only at this time, right? So I can only judge it by the 
description.

Sure sounds interesting, but there's still the interface problem I 
mentioned: moving messages by drag&drop doesn't trigger any filters. 
Actually, that might be a useful feature...

OTOH, it might be more productive in the long run to think about spam 
as a general mail classification issue and approach it like that. 
Suppose you had a bayesian message classifier linked into kmail. When 
setting up filters, you wouldn't specify some regex that some header 
or whatever needs to match. You'd pick a category instead and the 
category would be defined by the statistical properties of all 
messages in a (physical or virtual) mail folder. This way, your 
filter adjusts dynamically to changes in your incoming email and in 
the way you sort it into folders.

That's why I disagree with comment #46. I don't think a bayesian 
filter is yet another spam filter. It's a new concept that could do 
more than just tag spam. But to really work seamlessly, it needs 
proper support inside kmail.
