Here's something that _maybe_ should be changed/added. I only use nnimap, but I use the agent as a cache. Therefore it is possible for me (I guess?) to use spam-stat.el, but doing the training on my cached articles instead. I.e. you can use automated dictionary creation even if you have another backend than nnml. Also, splitting is possible using nnimap-split-fancy as well and not only nnmail-split-fancy, right? Btw, I really liked the "Here is how you would create your dictionary" part of the documentation. Perhaps something could be added to help beginners a bit more? Something along the lines of: 1. Copy this text to the *scratch* buffer 2. edit the strings to reflect your settings 3. go to the end of each statement and press C-x C-e to evaluate the function Niklas
