That is interesting. I am much more worried about false positives
(missing a real email) than I am about false negatives (seeing a few
spam emails). If there were a dial I could turn on the spam filter, I
would try and make it "looser" (less likely to filter each message as
spam) so that I have a much lower probability of false positives than
false negatives.
