Content analysis details:   (3.3 points, 5.0 required)

Train the messages as spam with sa-learn which should add 3.5 to the score.

3.5+3.3=6.8
6.8 > 5.0 = spam

You are correct if I teach the system this email it will score as spam.  But, I 
have trained a lot of spam over the last 2 weeks that are very similar to this 
one and unfortunately the new messages are getting through.
