[Spambayes] Odd error message

This happens with all messages, whether I highlight one or the whole
batch.  95% of the messages I try to move (Well, I actually do move but
I always get the odd message ""No filterable mail items are selected")
are in the Maybe Spam folder.  Sometimes I'll move a message that went
to Spam into Inbox or one that stayed in Inbox to Spam, but I always
still get the message.

I read FAQ 5.7 but it didn't help.  I have SpamBayes set to only filter
the Inbox (Outlook 2003 BTW).

I have the "Enable background filtering" box checked.  Does that have
anything to do with it?

How do I send you a copy of my most recent log file?

Thanks for your reply, and help.

Does this happen with any message, or just particular ones?   
SpamBayes should only work with received messages, and so tries to  
figure out which messages have been received and which haven't.   
Unfortunately, this is difficult to do, and there are occasional  
messages that, for whatever reason, fail to correctly match the  
criteria.  There's an open bug report about this.  You can add more  
information to that report if you like, but basically it's easy  
enough to just manually move these few rouge messages.

If this is happening with all messages, then that's something  
different.  In that case, it would probably help to see your log.   
Please do this again (to generate the log entries), then send us a  
copy of your most recent log file.
