SpamSieve is filtering messages fine - but it's failing to report this
correctly in the Statistics window (see below).

I reset the corpus earlier today, because it had got large and I thought
this might be causing the Statistics problem. The "Corpus" section
reports the number of messages that have been filtered since the corpus
was reset. In my previous email this showed as "2 Good Messages, 11 Spam
Messages (85%)". It's now up to "37 Good Messages, 74 Spam Messages
(66%)", but Filtered Mail still says "0 Good Messages, 0 Spam Messages etc."

I wonder if the problem is caused by the fact that SpamSieve's
History.db file has got quite large (122.9 MB).
