You should use the "Mark as Good" command.

If SpamSieve doesn't report it as a false positive, that generally  
means that SpamSieve never predicted it to be spam in the first  
place. You can check SpamSieve's log for yourself and see if there is  
a "Predicted: Spam" entry for the message in question. My guess is  
that one of your mail filters in PowerMail moved the message to the  
spam folder even though SpamSieve didn't think the message was spam.

What do your relevant mail filters say? Perhaps you have a filter  
that raises the spam rating?

Normally, this would work the way you want; that it doesn't in this  
case is probably another symptom of the above.
