a good reason not to do it that I haven't thought of?
It's possibly a good idea, but you want to be really careful of one
thing: Make sure your users are savvy enough not to have their
accounts phished. It'll take just one compromised account that blasts
out a spam run to destroy the usefulness of your Bayes data.

Agreed. I was considering the same idea at one point, and came to the
same result. One person could poison the DB completely.
