POPFile test_arch_msg Utility

This utility is deprecated and no longer supported. It will not function properly with versions higher than 0.20.x.

The Test Archived Messages utility is a tool for POPFile developers who are archiving messages to check the archived messages against the current corpus by reprocessing those messages with the Bayes classifier and reporting any messages that reprocess to a bucket different from where they were archived.

This version has been tested in a Windows environment with versions 0.18.1 and 0.19.0 of POPFile. The author believes that the utility is platform independent and will work properly on non-Windows POPFile installs, but has not tested on those platforms.

POPFile is an automatic email classification tool authored by John Graham-Cumming available from SourceForge.
