I can see how your solution would be work, and I could do something similar
with Outlook rules.  I imagine that there are lots of platform specific ways
to work around the issue, I just wanted to discuss an interesting boundary
condition which may effect the useability of SpamBayes as a product.

Again, I can do this if I want, but I was looking at a solution that would
leave the mail unfiltered in my inbox without having to make some kind of
external workaround.
