New checkbox: Select <90% entries

[Ryan J Ollos]

I'd find it useful to have a Select <90% entries checkbox on the Monitoring page. I'll provide a patch if you think it's a good idea and the change will be accepted.

You can already do so, even if it needs 3 clicks, but it is fast nevertheless. Click on "Select Spam entries" and than click on ">90%" twice.

I see. The multiple clicks are not a problem. The biggest issue is that it may not be obvious how to accomplish this, but it worksforme.

I think we should consdier adding a checkbox since it's not obvious how to select the < 90% and there's an obvious spot to place it that will likely otherwise go unused.

Question is "Why do you need a <90%" at all? I never needed that. And also <90% is ambiguous: Does it mean spam only or spam and ham?

[Ryan J Ollos]

SpamFilter#Bayes suggests Train every SPAM entry with a score below 90%. I select all the entries below 90% and then Delete Selected as Spam. The proposed change would be a red'ish entry below Select > 90% entries. I don't see a reason an equivalent green'ish entry would be needed.

[Dirk Stöcker]

Simply use the first button which deletes any spam > 90%. That's the idea behind this button to get rid of unhelpful entries, so the remaining ones can be handled. Your approach to select the below 90% entries in the whole list means that a few trainable entries are hidden in a large set of non-useful stuff. This does not really allow proper checking which is important for good training.

• First remove the unwanted entries
• Train the remaining ones.

The first button is also a bit more clever than the JavaScript can be as it e.g. does not remove >90% when user was logged in or when result was considered HAM.
