Subject: [Q] why using spam.el ?

        Hi folks !

Out of curiosity, I'm wondering why some people felt the need for such a thing
as spam.el.

In my own experience, I use spamassassin via procmail (with a very simple spam
detection scheme in gnus making the default (last) folder of
nnmail-split-methods to a group named "spam"). After bayesian training over
6000 messages (3000 spam, 3000 non spam), my spamassassin undetected spam rate
fell from 200 per day to 1 or 2 per day.

Currently, the only thing I use in spam.el is the M-d key sequence, which is a
bit overkill ;-)
