Ted, if you don't want to check out Emacs CVS, you can use the v5-10
branch in Gnus' CVS.

The spam.el (and spam-report.el) code differs between the Gnus CVS
trunk and the v5-10 branch (which is synced to/from Emacs CVS).  I
think that in the v5-10 branch there is some inconsistency between
code and documentation, see
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/60921>.  I didn't
have time to dig into it, though.  (I already mentioned this in a
previous mail to Chong)

(I didn't look at the patch yet.  But...)  I'd guess that we should
start from v5-10/Emacs CVS and update to the new code in the trunk
later.  Assuming that the next Emacs release is more close than the
next stable Gnus release.

I'd like to; but I can't promise when.  But I only have practical
experience with the (quite unusual) setup described in (info
"(gnus)Spam ELisp Package Configuration Examples").

It would be good if some "ordinary users" (the less you know about the
internals, the better. ;-)) could help proofreading.

Bye, Reiner.
