sa-learn only detects a single message
I'm using Debian's 3.0.3-2sarge1 spam assassin package and I'm
attempting to use sa-learn to train the bayesian filter. I've built up a
corpus of spam in an IMAP/mbox folder using Thunderbird. The folder has
approximately 500 messages.
Something appears to be going wrong though, sa-learn only sees a single
message.
$ sa-learn --spam Mail/Junk
Learned from 1 message(s) (1 message(s) examined).
$
Any ideas what it is?
Thanks,
James

Thank you. Where do I apply for the idiot of the year award? ;-)

Tell sa-learn that it's a mbox file ala --mbox, otherwise the default is
"file". :)

The keys '--mbox' on your keyboard are only working intermittently. :)
Without --mbox, sa-learn assumes it's reading a single message.
