Strangely, that happened for the first time ever yesterday to me with 1.54 beta 44 and the same settings (compress on exit, but 18,000 messages here).

Re: Scot Finnie's Newsletter
On 02 March 2002 at 22:23 William wrote: Hello TBUDL In Scot's current newsletter (on-line version at http://www.scotfinnie.com/newsletter/22.htm he compares TB! unfavourably with Eudora! He welcomes contrary views. Would any of our resident experts like to put him right? Well ... Outbound filtering has been there since the Ark (and two copies of TB! emerging from it ;) He takes about 10 times as much space to describe what he needs (several times) as is necessary, but what I _think_ the TB! analogue is is: N accounts, A,B,C,D ... Z. All inbound email to A,B,C,D ... Y is redirected to Z by a filter with: Kludges = @ Destination = \\Z\Inbox in each of A,B,C,D ... That's the easy bit; the response is trickier. What he appears to want to do is to put the To: address of the filtered mail from A,B,C,D ... into the From: and Reply-To: fields of the response from Z (ignore all the waffle about 'personalities'). Now we get into the old, insoluble argument about 'is rewriting the header of an incoming or outgoing email legal, decent, honest and truthful?' and the real issue is that TB! says 'no' and Eudora says 'yes' :) I try not to 'blame the user', but some people seem to open a new email account every week. Some discipline is needed; I'm pretty assiduous about closing old accounts (which, unfortunately, took place three times last year because of UK ISP closures and mergers) and telling people I'm moving. Those who are interested will make the change and those who aren't won't; after all, do you have postal mail indefinitely redirected from all the properties you previously lived in?

My point, in case I didn't make it clear, is that everything in a

as an example of how a very short message may end up with an
un-proportional footprint, specially if you multiply it by the number
of subscribers to this list.
I'm afraid things are going the opposite way - try, for example,
i. Yahoo! Groups mailing lists (adverts added by servers);
ii. emails from corporate mail addresses ('this mail is virus-free'
and/or legal disclaimers added by servers).
Neither of these additions existed a few years ago and in some ways,
this list adds very little; often either of i. or ii. are 20 lines
long and are enforced (the user can't turn them off) :(

OK ... so as far as I am aware TB! is easily uninstalled via add/remove programs so what is he talking about? As I have never uninstalled TB! from my system (of course not!) I can't speak from experience. Is he referring to maybe registry entries that are left behind after uninstalling or is he just slightly confused? :-) He could mean registry entries left behind; TB! does this ... and so do, it seems, about 90 per cent of programs in existence.

However, the author doesn't recommend it. Quote: It is recommended to remove any other installed anti-spam plug-ins from The Bat!.

Maximum and Minimum mean that the maximum or minimum rating from all values will be taken as overall rating. Plug-ins are not learning from each other and that is why there is no sense in installing several plug-ins simultaneously. The classification quality will be approximately equal to the quality of the plug-in with the worst characteristics. Moreover, the less learned plug-in will be unable to learn normally. The more learned plug-in will correctly classify the messages unknown to less learned plug-in and therefore it will never learn such messages.
