I'm very new to SpamAssassin.  I've read 'man sa-learn' but I have a few 
questions about it...

I've been running it for a few days now and I have a folder I call 
'spamuncaught', every email put into it by hand, that contains 210 
messages.

If I run these through sa-learn as spam, won't I be marking certain 
words as 'spammy' that perhaps shouldn't be?  Shouldn't I also run 
through messages as 'ham' to balance things out?

If I should, then I'll probably uses messages sent to this list, as I 
know there's no spam hidden in them; I can't guarantee that about any 
of my other folders.  Is that a reasonable assumption?

Should I try to put through the same number of messages?  Or doesn't it 
matter?

And one more thing... though I don't see it mentioned, I'm presuming 
from the sa-learn manpage that I don't have to remove the already 
existing SpamAssassin headers from either the spam or the ham; that 
sa-learn will ignore them.  Is that correct?

Thanks.

Jeff
