[Spambayes] Small Bug - medium-sized bug...

This is actually by design.  The idea of those headings is to make it easy
for you to tell the proxy, "almost all the messages are of this class,
except the exceptions, which I'll click later."  Try clicking the heading
first, then clicking the exceptions.  If you think some different behavior
would be preferable, take a look at the source for the review page and try
to come up with a reasonable patch.  It's just a little bit of JavaScript
which sets the buttons.  I don't think you'll find a behavior that's better
than the current setup.

Sorry, can't help you with this one.  One of the pop3proxy developers will
have to chime in.
