[Bug 39122] Re: Include the tools for spam filtering

[José Pablo Ezequiel "Pupeno" Fernández Silva]

Some might prefeer a web-based email, so, you shouldn't install Evolution either.
In Breezy, bogofilter is installed by default and it wasn't a problem.
The problem here is more about not providing a miss-feature. If Evolution warned about not finding a tool, at least, and ideally offered a way to install it, then, it would not be a problem not to ship Ubuntu without the spam tool.
Let me rephrase:
  There's a button in Evolution which is supoused to train the spam filter and a set of options to filter the spam. Those options silently do nothing if a particular tool is not installed and on Ubuntu they are not installed by default. Having a set of buttons and options silently failing... like if they worked (because working would have been silent as well) is very, very  bad.

Thank you.
