I''ll turn the option on, and see what happens. I get a *lot* more spam
than ham. At the moment, I'm only training on unsures - but all the
unsures are clearly spam, so the spam db is growing much faster than ham.
At the moment, about a third of my spam ends up classified as Unsure.
There's never any ham in the Unsure folder. I'll try the
ham-spam-imbalance option and see if there's any change. If not, I'll
just need to review my threshold settings
