I'm checking these out now.

I'm bumping up my Bayes scores in just a few minutes.  We'll see what happens.

As for per-user Bayes, I'm afriad that's simply out of the question.  I have 
one user who still won't use subject lines, and another who hasn't figured out 
how to address e-mail yet (she just uses Reply).  Seriously.  Trying to explain 
Bayes filtering would be an exercise in futility.  I have to provide a 
server-side solution and manage it myself, or do nothing at all.

Does it make that much of a difference over 3.0.2?  If so, I might take a shot 
at upgrading later this month or next, when I get the time.
