   Ok, I am officially puzzled.   
   
   I setup email addresses on my SA box, to which I and others (they say) send 
ham/spam.  Then I have cron tasks that feed those emails twice daily to bayes.  
And emails the output to my admin mailbox.
   
   I can review those admin messages and see "Learned tokens from n message(s) 
(n message(s) examined)".   Yet, if i resend the bayes food from those dates, 
it appears to re-learn them.   I would expect "Learned tokens from 0 
messages(s) (n messages(s). . . "
   if it already had seen them.
   
   I have tried this for several dates and get the same result.  What could it 
be?  Not Operator Trouble, surely . . .

Bayes uses the message id from the email message to remember which
messages it has seen.  If you are really emailing the messages then
you are getting a new message-id which is then learned.  You need to
train on the unadulterated original email message.  You can do this by
attaching the complete email message.  Otherwise you are training
bayes to recognize tokens added by your users during the forwarding
process as a spam indicator.
