Correct.  "no" means "i think it's ham".  "yes" means "i think it's spam".
"unsure" means ...

"no" and "yes" are interpreted the same as SpamAssassin's use of these
words.  Perhaps this suggests that we need a different header?  SA uses

    X-Spam-Status: yes

which reads in the obvious fashion.  I still think we need to leave
"X-Spam-*" to the SA folks to avoid ambiguity, but maybe we can use

    X-Ham-Status: yes         to mean "it's ham"
    X-Ham-Status: no          to mean "it's spam"

Just a thought.
