Thanks for the reply, Skip! Here are the spam clues for an e-mail that is
representative of the kind that I keep seeing filtered as "Unsure," despite
training lots of messages from this sender:

Any chance you can post the ham/spam clues for a couple of these messages?

It's probably a very strong ham clue, but it is still just one clue. To
SpamBayes, a clue is a clue is a clue.

Clues, we need clues. ;-)
