I *think* this is probably one of the problems that I've recently fixed (in
source, i.e. cvs) with imapfilter.

There are plans afoot to put out a new source release, so you could wait (a
week, maybe) for that.  Alternatively, there is a release candidate here:

<http://www.massey.ac.nz/~tameyer/spambayes-1.0a7rc1.zip>
<http://www.massey.ac.nz/~tameyer/spambayes-1.0a7rc1.tar.gz>

These aren't official releases, but you could, if you like, give them a go
and see if they fix the problem.  If you do, it would be great to know
either way.

(If you want to avoid overwriting your existing 1.06 release, you can run
imapfilter from the expanded archive - just set the environment variable
PYTHONPATH to the location of that directory, and put a copy of your
configuration file in the appropriate place).
