That would be good.  There's probably a helpful (to us 
<wink>) message in your SpamBayes log file whenever 
this happens.  A real problem is that Outlook destroys 
the exact structure of incoming email, so you may not 
actually be able to give anyone else an email that 
reproduces the problem. When "nothing happens" in an 
otherwise-working SpamBayes, the usual cause is that 
the email is so badly formed (violates so many standards 
about how email *should* be constructed) that the 
SpamBayes email parser gives up trying to make any 
sense of it.  If that's what's happening, you will find 
helpful (to us) information in your SpamBayes log file.

I too am seeing this behavior - on about 1% of spam (I 
get 2 or 3 messages a day that won't delete as spam).  
I am using Outlook 2002 SP3 on XP Pro SP1, SpamBayes 
1.0b1

log file indicates:
