Hi, I've set up a bayes filter in sylpheed-claws.  It took
about 5 minutes.  I followed directions here:
http://web.purplefrog.com/~thoth/spam/
I modified the "good" mail search to include all my "good" subfolders.
My mail does not all sit in my inbox, as is assumed by the directions.

It did take about ten minutes to download and compile sylhpeed-claws.

I'm having a lot of fun, I just dare spam come my way, and
watch happily as it hits my "spam" folder.  I get about 100-150
spams per day now, so this new filter is almost bringing tears to
my eyes.
