It does not do auto-learning on every mail. Imagine if it learned
a mail that scored 5.1 as spam when the mail was false positive. Or
if mail scored 4.9 and it was spam. Only tokens from mails that are
clearly spam or good mail are automaticly inserted into bayes
database. There's score limits (-3 and +15 or something) but I think
there's other mechanisms to help minimize auto-learn mistakes other
than just scoring-based.

.msg means it's saved to a file from Outlook, right? SpamAssassin
can't parse those. Copy headers from the mail's options in Outlook
and body (if html, copy the source) to a new file (so it'll be
just ascii instead of binary garbage what the .msg probably has)
and try again.
