Need help with -Ns retraining while loop

[Tom Anderson]

Eric,

My program bfproxy does basically what you require. Eg:

subject: Two Complimentary Airline Tickets:  See ...
original spamicity: 0.500000
user classification: spam
command: bogofilter -s
words: 743
new spamicity: 0.504973
new spamicity: 0.508691
new spamicity: 0.513176
new spamicity: 0.518512
new spamicity: 0.524677
new spamicity: 0.531619
new spamicity: 0.539267
new spamicity: 0.547545
new spamicity: 0.556373

It can repeatedly train an email until the spamicity reaches your
cutoff.  However, instead of the paradigm of dragging spams to an IMAP
folder, you forward your spams to bfproxy.
