I probably didn't communicate that well. As an example, this was in my log:

=====================================================================
Predicted: Good (27)
Subject: dark side reap revenge
From: "side" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Identifier: khgtBI64xZPSBNTAr+Nhqw==
Reason: P(spam)=0.000[0.500], bias=0.000, authoring(0.002), attackers

=====================================================================
Trained: Good (Auto)
Subject: dark side reap revenge
Identifier: khgtBI64xZPSBNTAr+Nhqw==

"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"> to SpamSieve whitelist, added to Good corpus
(1950)

=====================================================================

So, it was predicting this as good, and training it as good (auto). I
think that's the "Learning" function under Training preferences kicking
in? Then I'd click "Mark as Spam" and this would show up in the log:

=====================================================================
Trained: Spam (Manual)
Subject: dark side reap revenge
Identifier: khgtBI64xZPSBNTAr+Nhqw==
Actions: disabled rule <From (address) Is Equal to
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"> in SpamSieve whitelist, added rule <From

blocklist, added to Spam corpus (2813), removed from Good corpus (1949)
Date: 2007-01-29 15:52:14 -0500
=====================================================================
Mistake: False Negative
Subject: dark side reap revenge
Identifier: khgtBI64xZPSBNTAr+Nhqw==
Classifier: Bayesian
Score: 27
Date: 2007-01-29 15:52:19 -0500
=====================================================================

The other setting was leaving spam which actually had my address in
them. As an example, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is not in my addressbook,
so those usually got sent to spam just fine... The "Always" setting
appears to be catching the others now, too.
