Unlearn
I finally have a need to unlearn a message that was auto-learned. My
messages are in mbox format. How can I unlearn an individual email? Tnx -

It would have been easier if you'd mentioned your email software.
Since you are using OE6 you can export the message as a single ".eml"
message. While the OE 6 format in the "OutlookExpress" directory is
unreadable by mortals the ".eml" format is standard mbox format. That
can be fed directly into the unlearn process modulo a possible need to
excise carriage return characters, an exercise left to the student.

I wouldn't necessarily use --forget, because if that type of message comes
through, again, it might get misclassified.
Putting it into its own file, though, is one good way to do it.
Another way might be to use the entire mbox to train bayes, like so:
sa-learn --ham --mbox < /path/to/file/with/message

This is what I want. But since I have mbox format, there are other msgs in
the directory. I guess I just need to get the email in question into it's
own directory and then run --forget. Thanks Mike and others who replied.

"sa-learn --forget < /path/to/file/with/message" to remove it from your db
or
"sa-learn --ham < /path/to/file/with/message" to tell the db that it's not
spam at all.
