More introductory information can be found at > http://lifelogs.com/spam and in the Gnus manual. > > Ted It is a help : if only to calm me down and think more logically - sometimes it can all be a bit confusing :( Especially with this new default spam process which has replaced spamassassin - it wasnt immediately clear to me wither this spam.el was compatible with spamassassins x-headers etc etc. Maybe one last answer (which may or may not be in manuals) : I use posting styles to maintain different email folders - is it trivial (before I start wasting time trying) to configure spam.el to move the "mark as NOT spam" to the correct procmail populated maildirs in gnus? Thanks again for taking the time to reply.
