Well, yes.  It was reported as unsure.  As is my normal practice, I saved it
to my spam collection and trained on it later.  That doesn't negate all the
other clues which were originally missing.  I believe I explained that I was
mixing apples and oranges, comparing the debug header info generated on one
(out-of-date) machine with the classification header generated on my (much
more up-to-date) laptop.
