Well, that appeared to fix the _ability_ to run classification using my
existing database, but the results were pretty disappointing -
everything seemed to go into my "unsure" folder...

...so I set up some test "inbox, spam, unsure" folders and tried to run:

   python imapfilter.py -v -i 5 -t -c -D ~/bayes.db

It may look like there's not much there, but some of those lines are
*really long* (whole messages).
