Unit 4 Lab 4: Spam Checking

In U4, Brian and I agreed to move a page very similar to this to the U4 TG, and I suggest we move this one to the U3 TG too. --MF
Could this be TIF content appended to the previous page? --MF

What else could you do to improve the spam filtering? Discuss this with your team. You might consider the following options:
- Detect spam by finding phone numbers or web links
- Detect spam by finding words that are highly frequent in spam messages and not in ham messages
- Detect spam by checking with a dictionary for clean spelling and no abbreviations
- Combine several methods
How hard would it be to implement your solutions?
Compare your solutions with the one you wrote earlier (using average number of words)? Which would do better? Why?
