I'm not sure what you mean by "patterns", but it should be clarified that Bayes doesn't deal with patterns like the ones recognized by most rules. It deals only with the presence of tokens, and individual tokens at that, not even combinations. Rules can recognize much more general and complex patterns in messages than anything Bayes can (at least as Bayes is implemented in SA). -- Keith C. Ivey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Washington, DC
