I reset the configuration, retrained and verified all the folder selections.
I didn't make any changes, except to add the SpamBayes Spam folder to the
spam training list, though it didn't contain any messages at the time.  When
in the Unsure folder, I now see that the SpamBayes toolbar does not fit
where I placed it and there is a continuation symbol, which I probably
missed before, on the right edge.  Moving things around so all the toolbars
fit, I now see that both buttons display when in the Unsure folder.

Looks like this is a clear case of "pilot error".  Thanks for your patience.
