It might be prudent to review the defaults before the next major  release. I wonder if we shouldn't disable auto-learning by default (assuming it's on by default)... It is. Bayes should really be trained. I might not go so far as to say autolearn should be disabled by default, as it is a major good if well trained; but setting the defaults extreme enough that it is reliably, if slowly, initially trained seems to me a fair middle ground. Setting the ham default threshold to -3 or even -5 seems prudent (_much_ better than the current 0.1), then someone who actually wants to configure it can adjust based on how well it's performing and whether they want autolearn on at all. Can you open a bug about that and let's see if we can get that done? I agree that a slower training threshold makes sense. -- Kevin A.
