Yes, using those criteria could cause some messages not to be
evaluated (in which case there would be no "Predicted" entries in the
log for them). I'm not sure what you mean about messages being marked
as good automatically.
However, every time I drag the spam to reapply the rule from the
Filter
menu, the log shows that I am manually choosing to make it NOT spam
again. There is a setting in PowerMail to manually mark as good any
mail
dragged out of the Spam folder, so that could be a bit confusing.
Thanks for mentioning that. I'll clarify it in the next revision of
the documentation.

I filter GIF and JPG spam before it reaches the Spamsieve filter so

don't "pollute" the Spamsieve corpus.
In my filters, my first filter is called "Spam-gif" and has two
conditions:
From is not in address book
Attachment ends with .gif
I don't think one needs to worry about polluting the corpus, and
SpamSieve should be able to catch these image spams. If this kind of
manual filter works well for you, that's great, but I don't recommend
it in general because there are legitimate reasons for non-spammers
who aren't in the address book to be sending GIFs.
