I've been using SpamAssassin for a couple weeks now, so I'm still pretty
new to it.  I have use_bayes 1 and auto_learn 1 in my
.spamassassin/user_prefs file so shouldn't that mean that it autolearns
from my email?

If I run "sa-learn --ham --mbox some_folder", it learns from the
contents of the folder.  When I run it again, it says that it learned
from 0 messages.  Well, if all these messages are new since I started
using spamassassin, shouldn't it learn from 0 messages the FIRST time I
run sa-learn?

I read somewhere on this list that auto bayes learning only happens for
emails that score above or below a certain number, so it doesn't
auto-learn from emails that are in the "grey-zone" between spam and ham.
Maybe that's what's happening here?  I move my false positives and
negatives into separate folders for bayes relearning, so in my setup at
least I don't think I'd care if bayes learned some emails incorrectly as
I'd correct it manually later.  If anybody can tell me what's going on
and what I'm missing, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
- Andrew.
