The only way to know why a message scored what it did is to look at the
clues.  Next time a message is misclassified (before you do any training on
it) take a look at the clues - if you can't see why it's scoring what it is,
then forward them on to the list, and we can help out.

You can see the clues list via the web interface (you can use sb_upload or
just sb_server and use the form on the main page), or there's a script to
print them out in CVS (and will be in 1.1) in the contrib/ directory, or if
you turn on the X-Spambayes-Evidence header they will be there.
