[Spambayes] No Filterable mail items are selected

[Daren Kinser]

Bob,

Thanks for the reply Bob. 

I'm slightly confused. Do you mean that if I were to select (hold Ctrl
key and click) multiple messages within Outlook (maybe in the "Junk
Suspects" folder) then click "Delete As Spam" that Spambayes would not
filter the selected group of messages? I believe I do this with success
now although this is not how I was trying to delete the unfilterable
messages before. Are you speaking of deleting a group of messages
another way?

This also happens if you select a message group rather than an
individual message, even if all the included messages are filterable.
Intuitively, you'd think you could "Delete as Spam" a group (since many
Outlook operations, including "Delete", do work on groups). But that
operation has never worked in Spambayes.

You can upload a copy of those messages to that tracker, if you like,
and we can look at the properties of the message, but it seems unlikely
that this will be fixed in the near future.  Obviously, you can just
move those messages manually, and this should be very rare (if not, then
there's much more incentive for it to be quickly fixed).
