    John> I use spambayes with my work Outlook and see spam filtered into
    John> Junk and Junk Suspect folders.

    John> How do I do this with Outlook Express?  

John,

Outlook Express is seriously feeble in the filtering department.  It will
only allow you to filter on a small fixed set of headers.  On the
configuration page in the Header Options section you can choose to insert
classification of ham, spam or unsure in the Subject: or To: fields.  I
think OE will filter either header.  You can experiment or check the
SpamBayes FAQ:

    http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html

I think there's something there about OE and its limited filtering
capability.
