Is it that multiple filters are better than one, or is it that a filter that
drops extraneous stuff from its db is better than one that doesn't?  You
first statement leads to the later conclusion.

What happens if you disable Bayes in SA completely and just use your second
filter?  It sounds like this should improve overall results, since you won't
have the occasional SA Bayes error biasing the score in the wrong direction.

What I'm getting at here is that maybe the solution isn't multiple filters
(although I see nothing inherently wrong with that idea), but maybe the
solution is to simply prune the extraneous junk from the input to the main
SA Bayes filter so that it works like your add-on filter.

You clearly have a script or some such that is able to trim a message down
for input to the second filter.  How hard would it be to add that filtering
as an option in SA to feed the main Bayes routines?
