[Spambayes] Outlook Express rules

I'm a newbie to Spambayes but I've gotten it to work well with Outlook
Express except for one thing-

Although anything from  the spambayes mailing list is sorted correctly as
'ham', but because the subject (or the recipient field, depending on the
option), contains the letters s-p-a-m as part of 'spambayes', the Outlook
Express rule send it to my spam directory.

I don't see any way (suggestions wanted!) of changing the Outlook Express
rules to exclude 'spambayes' - there seems to be no way of including the
logical 'but not spambayes'.

My next alternative seems to be to change the word that Spambayes sets
messages it decides is spam to something other than 'spam' - that is if it
output 'sspam' then I could set my Outlook Express rule accordingly.

Can this be easily done?

Someone else must have run up against this already but I haven't found
anything on the wiki covering this - it might be there, but I haven't found
it!

Sugestions?

thanks
Michael Slade
