[Spambayes] imap filter AssertionError spamcount <= nspam

This indicates that your database is bad.  It's basically saying that there
is a token in the database that has been seen more times in spam than the
number of messages you have trained as spam, which is obviously impossible.
You can manually fiddle with the database (e.g. use sb_dbexpimp.py to
convert it to cvs, fix it, change it back) although that's maybe not wise,
or you can just retrain from scratch.

It could if someone wrote a patch to get it to do so.  If you would like it
to do so, then you can open a feature request
<http://sf.net/projects/spambayes>, making sure that you explain why this
would be a good feature to have.
