Indeed I require the message to be scored as "ham". But despite my
retraining with just 15 messages each for "spam" and "ham" (to keep the
database balanced), I get the following message again delivered to my
"spam"  folder. Interestingly the message has no
"X-Spambayes-Classification"  header added but instead has
"X-Folder:Bulk".

Kindly suggest what could have gone wrong. I get NASA news regularly as

Thanks.
