Oh yeah, sure!  I use the registry independently from spam.el and it
works well.

I use Gnus v5.11 on GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (i386-apple-darwin8) of
2006-07-08.  Do you think it is a good Idea to start using a version
of the head branch?  If seen that there are many improvements in the
spam.el already.  But apart of that I'm happy with the stable branch.
Maybe I can just install a nwe version of spam.el from the head?  Are
there any revisions of the head that are known to be very stable?

Thank you.

I hope the address comes out right this time!  It is

hoffmann <at> cip . ifi . lmu . de

By the way: It would be nice to have a feature to split the mails
depending on their spam score, i.e. to split mails with a score over
0.95 to the spam.likely group,  those between 0.75 and 0.95 to
spam.maybe, ...

Another thing that would be cool would be to have a customization of
gnus-spam-process-newsgroups in terms of the spam score.  I would like
to set for example (ham spam-use-bogofilter "0.4" "2") in ham groups.
That shall mean to learn only from messages that have a high spam
score (let's say over 0.4) to improve the wordlist.db.  The "2" shall
mean to learn it 2 times.  I've read that could be helpful and some
people like it.
