“Brent Switched to Mail.app for Bayesian Filters”

Brent Simmons mentioned today that he switched to Mail.app from Eudora, because of the bayesian filters in Mail.app.

As I mentioned last week, I'm using SpamSieve with Mailsmith to get basically the same filtering algorithms, without having to switch to a mail client I like a lot less. I'm still training it, but only a couple unwanted messages are slipping through per day.

SpamSieve doesn't support Eudora yet, but the interface between the mail client and SpamSieve is entirely AppleScript-based. According to this support page, the only problem is a bug in Eudora 5.1.1. If it's fixed in the next version, support for Eudora will be included.
