A good compromise is to augment autolearning by filing ham that doesn't hit BAYES_00 but has autolearn=no in an unsure folder. Ham is very easily learned so this doesn't involve much work in the long-term. Obviously you learn any spam too, but that's the easy part. You can also aid autolearning by adding some personalised negative scoring rules e.g. pattern matching on your message-id's in reference/in-reply-to headers.
