Manish Goel, the CEO of BoxSentry, gave me a delightful reason to ride my motorcycle into Boston on a sunny July afternoon. Sure it’s hot this time of year, but at 65 miles per hour, even the most humid day can still be comfortable – until you stop at a light, then it hits you.  Man it’s hot.

We had coffee at the Four Seasons on the Boston Common and chatted about anti-spam issues and technologies.

The discussion came around to our groundbreaking work on the user experience with email (Spam Index Report, The Problem with Email ), and how anti-spam filter technologies don’t support multi-lingual applications very well. Some markets, like The Netherlands, or Germany, or Singapore or Kuwait or even the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia need anti-spam technologies that can detect spam in Dutch and English, in German and English, in Chinese and English, in Arabic and English for example.
