a) You are using the wrong mailing list. This is a question for r-help.

b) One starting point may be the (generally recommeded) Friedman / Hastie /
   Tibshirani book at 
	http://www-stat.stanford.edu/~tibs/ElemStatLearn/ 
   and in Google Book Search at 
	http://books.google.com/books?id=VRzITwgNV2UC&dq=elements+of+statistical+learning
   which also has a matching CRAN package
	http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ElemStatLearn/index.html
   as it uses Spam detection as a running example. Start with code therein.

Hope this helps, Dirk
