You're most welcome - and I've shared it with others, and they *loved* it.

I'm guessing a Bayesian classifier is almost useless in this case? :)

No, a Baysian classifier would probably work quite well. See, all the
ham contains works like "viagra" in the same sentence as "double-blinded
randomised trial", while all the spam contains "viagra" in the same
sentence as "lowest price meds of guaranteed". ;-)
It's the keyword-based filters that fail horribly. (And not just because
many of them don't let you edit the keywords...)

US and Canada.
Make that up to 120, 500mg, pills per bottle.
And you can also have it in liquid form. Over 750mg per dose: it's
called Niquil.

OIC, I didn't actually realize that. :-)
I've learned a thing today, so today hasn't been wasted.
