Which I'm sure is no surprise to most.

Just wanted to mention that I'd been trying to clean up a polluted ham
corpus by using 'forget', but I continued to get poor results.  Long
story short, I cleaned up my ham, and removed both ham, and spam that
had spambouncer headers - which I assume sa-learn did not remove? (not
that I would expect it to), deleted bayes database, and retrained. 

Bayes is now much more accurate - even before turning on bayes, a few
spam had begun to trickle through.  I got zero spam today, and even
caught, out of around 400 spam, 2 that would have otherwise slipped in.

The reason I mention it - aside from being pleased - is to point out
that it appears the problem was either the old spambouncer headers, or
forgetting, wasn't (the latter being what I started out suspecting,
until I discovered the spambouncer headers).  Another imperfection in my
experience analysis is that I suppose the database could have been
corrupted, as I'd gotten knocked off line several times while running
sa-learn.

In any event, if trouble training, might want to consider starting from
scratch.
