Summary: Spambayes incorrectly trains mail as good

Initial Comment:
Initially I noticed that Spambayes was not moving 
messages to the Unsure folder or the Junk E-mail folder 
for certain messages that had high enough 
percentages.  Spambayes would move some, but then 
would leave emails with a 90% or above score in my 
folders.  It would also leave messages with a score of 
15% or higher without moving them to the Unsure 
folder.  Looking at the log, I noticed that these message 
are being trained as good, even though they have 
scores of 90% and above.  Please look at the log.  For 
example the last few lines of the log:

Message 'Refinance Without Perfect Credit' had a Spam 
classification of 'Yes' - This had a score of 43% and 
stayed in the original folder.

Message 'Quick Cash Loans up to $500 plus free 
groceries bonus' had a Spam classification of 'Yes'
but then two lines later:
Training on message 'Quick Cash Loans up to $500 plus 
free groceries bonus' -  trained as good - This message 
has a score of 55% and stayed in the original folder.

Message 'Get your Complimentary Credit Report' had a 
Spam classification of 'Yes'
Training on message 'Get your Complimentary Credit 
Report' -  trained as good
This had a score of 44% and stayed in the folder.

Best I can do with this one is to upgrade the logging to
include the folder names when all this stuff happens - which
I have done.  So hopefully when people strike it in the next
version, I will get a clue.
