Re: improving spamprobe a la popfile

Ohh, Nice!!

When I read "ifile" in Brian's email, I thought he was referring to
popfile, so I obviously didn't understand what he told me correctly ;-)

But yes, ifile definitely looks like something for me..
Thanks a lot for the link, I will look at iFile before loosing time to
do my own filter :)
