Ahh but I think everyone might be missing a minor point and that's the
design of this script.  These FPs on HAM rules are just a best guess,
say a spam message only scores 3.0 and is not considered spam, any of
the rules that hit on that message are now going to be part of your
"ham" classification for SA-Stats.  I noticed this when installing
this script on my server.  So just cause it says it hit 8.18% of ham,
doesn't really mean those hits were really on ham, only what SA
thought was HAM...  hth
