Glad to hear the problem has been solved! An "improperly-classified message" would be either a spam mail that was not marked as spam, or a non-spam mail that was marked as spam. In other words, a message that was not classified correctly by SA. I'm not sure what format Outlook Express uses for it's .eml files, but if you want to give us a sample message in the future, the best way to do it is to grab the message source and post that. To get the source in OE, open the message, click on File->Properties, select the Details tab, then click the Message Source button. Alternately, If your server stores emails in Maildir format, then each message is a separate text file and you can just copy it from the server. -- Bowie
