It might be nice to have a configuration option that says whether or not to store the raw tokens in the database along with their associated hash values. BTW, the reason I'm asking about this stuff is that I'd like to be able to store the raw and hashed values side by side in the database so that a CGI script can pull token info from the database (say, the Top 10 spammiest tokens per individual user). Thanks, Stuart
