        It is. All my mail is sorted in different groups, and a spam group. 
When I read my mail, I M-d all spam (they're moved to the spam group). I have
then a crontab that, each night, sa-learn spam from the nnml spam directory,
and ham, from the others.

        I use this indeed.

        In newsgroups, I didn't know.
