Summary: fix for outlook 'spam' field

Initial Comment:
1) firstly it changes the Class of the 'Spam' field to 
olPercent, which I believe is much more appropriate than 
olCombination. The problem with olCombination is that 
you have to manually change the field type in outlook in 
order to get anything to show up. With olPercent, the 
column shows up with a nice '%' sign which makes it 
more obvious what the number actually means.

2) secondly it adds a checkbox 'Update spam scores' to 
the training dialog. Checking this box causes the trainer 
to update the spam field for ALL messages in your 
training folders (in a second pass, if necessary). This 
means that ALL messages in your inbox have an entry 
in that field, not just those that arrived since you 
installed the plugin. This was a huge win for me since it 
allowed me to sort by the spam field and throw away 
about 20 spams from my inbox that I had missed during 
my initial manual pruning.


The only issue here is that in order for this to work right, 
you'll have to manually delete your existing spam fields, 
restart outlook and then 'rescore'.
