[Spambayes] Messages fail to filter

[Peter Strisik]

New to Spambayes (Outlook plugin .81) myself.  I found that my messages
didn't filter automatically until I _deselected_ the processing delay.
Also, I notice that there is nothing in message headers that reflects
Spambayes activity even though messages are being scored and filtered!
