Thanks Scott.  I appreciate your taking the time to test that.

It turns out this email was received by another user in our company and was
determined to be spam as it should have been.  However this particular user
forwards all incoming email to another account out of the company so the
spam got converted into notspam right before the spam database was rebuilt.
My email that came right after the rebuild then was not spam.  This is one
of a couple of problems with ASSP and people who forward their incoming
email I have found.  It poisoned our spam database and will now be
corrected.

Thanks,
Doug
