Bayes: Is mail without headers better than no mail at all?
Hello..
I am currently in the process of implementing a site-wide Bayes database.
I understand the difficulty in processing forwarded mails (explained in
the Wiki).
I was wondering tho, if i create two accounts (spam/ham) and just have
users FORWARD mail to these accounts, could i still use this mail?
Obviously the headers are likely to be stuffed, but what if i strip ALL
headers and just feed the body of the mail to sa-learn. Is this better
than nothing, or will my Bayes db end up skewed as it has been
header-deprived?
Any opinions most appreciated,
Cheers
Jon
