There's no-one actively working on it. I have some stuff here that I=20
wrote down in a few minutes or so, but since the issue is currently=20
very well solved with the "pipe through", I stopped working on that.

You know that there's already bogofilter by Eric Raymond, which uses ANN=20
methods as classificator? If you intend to roll your own, you'd want to=20
simply make it a command-line tool, which adds a special header do that=20
any MUA, not only KMail, can use it.

You are of course free to write YABSF, and it's probably not much work=20
if you need to implement a ANN that classifies text for the university,=20
but in any case you don't need (and should not use) Qt for that. Just a=20
plain command line tool.

Personally, I'd recommend joining the bogofilter team instead, YMMV.

The DMCA is unconstitutional, but they don't care. Until it's ruled
unconstitutional, they've won. If they can scare software companies,
ISPs, programmers, and T-shirt manufacturers [...] into submission,
they've won for another day. The entertainment industry is fighting a
holding action, and fear, uncertainty, and doubt are their weapons. We
need to win this, and we need to win it quickly. Every day we don't
win is a loss.                 -- Bruce Schneier, Crypto-Gram Aug 2001
