Description Michael Parker 2003-01-24 08:19:06 UTC 
When reporting the code always runs the message through the learner, it would be
nice if there was a command line option that turned this off.

Is this somehow different from config option "auto_learn 0"?
Comment 2 Michael Parker 2003-01-24 08:34:49 UTC 
It is in my mind.  I'm specifically talking about when you report (and revoke if
it gets added in).  Unless I'm just missing it in the code, setting auto_learn
to 0 won't keep this from happening, the code always runs through the learner
for report.

Now that I think about it, it might also be nice to be able to tell it to forget
instead of learning it as spam or ham.

Oh, for report, yes.  If you report it as spam, you may as well learn
as spam too.  Although it looks like it does ignore Conf::use_bayes in
the learn() function... :(  Hmmm.

I had to dig, the check is actually in there pre-learning though.
So if you don't want to use bayes at all, just set "use_bayes 0".
If you want to use bayes but not train on reporting ...  Then you
shouldn't be reporting IMNSHO. ;)

I agree, this doesn't make as much sense when thinking strictly about reporting.
 I may have let the revoke stuff I recently worked up cloud my thinking and a
more concrete reason now eludes me.  So, I'm going to close this now and perhaps
I'll come up with a more solid reason in the future.
