DT> How do you install this Bayesit filter? First unarchive the TBP file someplace in either the TB executable tree or the data tree. I put mine in Prg_files/TheBat/Bayesit Go to Options / PLugins. Click add and then point at the bayesit.tbp file, click OK and you are basically done. It will then be set up with some defaults. You will then need to train it before it will be any good at recognizing spam. There are two ways to do that. First, just continue to receive mail as you do now and for each spam you find, use the menu Specials - Mark as Spam (I have assigned that to Alt-J (for junk) on my system). It will have assumed everything is "ham" (i.e. non-spam) until you mark it as such, so you don't have to do anything about those. Or, if you have saved some spam and some "ham" messages saved on your system, you can save some time by training it on those messages using the specials 'mark as junk' and 'mark as not junk' to "get a leg up" as it were. Just be sure to get at least as much ham as spam in your training so that it has a good idea what it good stuff or you will end up with a lot of false positives. -- Best regards, MikeD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v3.0.2.1 on Windows ME 4.90 Build 3000 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
