Eh? Of course it would be wise to learn the message as ham. The more
data the classifier has, the more accurate it becomes, assuming that the
input is correct -- that is, that you're not telling it spam is ham and
vice-versa. Ideally you'd train it on every message you receive.
There's a strong tendency to make value judgements ("oh, this is ham, but
it looks so spammy I'd better not feed it to sa-learn, it'll just confuse
the poor thing"). It doesn't work like that.
