I'm not sure what problem you're describing.  Is it that SpamBayes
incorrectly classified a message or that somehow it added a spam
classification header to the message which your T-Bird filter didn't pick
up?

I'm unsure why you're not just saving spam to a separate folder for later
review.  Aren't you worried that the occasional ham will be classified as
spam and deleted?
