Those two rules overlap. A message with bayes >= 99.9% hits both
rules. BAYES_99 ends at 1.00 not .999.

I get that they overlap. I guess my thinker gets in a knot wondering
why there is so little weight given to the more certain determination.
In my narrow view, anything that is 99.9% certain is probably worth a 5
on it's own. Or, at least should when, summed with BAYES_99, equal 5.
As that is what the default "SPAM flag" is.
Appears more experienced or thoughtful persons think otherwise.
