[Spambayes] Messages fail to filter

[Peter Strisik]

Ryan,

I will experiment with the processing delay vs. filtering or not after I
accumulate more spam to train on.

Thanks for clarifying about the headers.  I can put that one to rest.  

I already have the Spam column defined and showing.

......Peter
