What are you talking about, Gene? How is that related to your question?
Anyway, use_bayes defaults to 1, enabled. If you don't see it, it is
enabled. Can be verified by the existence of BAYES_XX hits. use_bayes
can be found in Learning Options, a sub-section of the section User
Preferences. The latter begins with these words, which apply to the
entire section:
The following options can be used in both site-wide (local.cf) and
user-specific (user_prefs) configuration files to customize how
SpamAssassin handles incoming email messages.

That's how you can investigate the Bayes tokens for the messages that
score neutral, despite learning. Isn't that what you asked for?
