[CLUE-Talk] The best of both worlds

It looks like you won't have to choose between SpamAssassin or a Bayesian
filter. From the online docs:

Since SpamAssassin now includes a Bayesian learning filter (in version
2.50 on), it is worthwhile training SpamAssassin with your collection of
non-spam and spam, if possible.  This will make it more accurate for your
incoming mail.  Do this using the "sa-learn-spam" and "sa-learn-nonspam"
commands, like so:

	sa-learn-spam ~/Mail/saved-spam-folder
	sa-learn-nonspam ~/Mail/inbox
	sa-learn-nonspam ~/Mail/other-nonspam-folder

Use as many mailboxes as you like.  Note that SpamAssassin will remember
what mails it's learnt from, so you can re-run this as often as you like. 

...

Unfortunately, 2.50 is considered bleeding edge, and 2.43 is the release
version. But it's nice to not have to switch to bogofilter to get that
feature. 

Cheers,
