Right. It might be prudent to review the defaults before the next major

I wonder if we shouldn't disable auto-learning by default (assuming it's on

It is.
Bayes should really be trained.
I might not go so far as to say autolearn should be disabled by default,
as it is a major good if well trained; but setting the defaults extreme
enough that it is reliably, if slowly, initially trained seems to me a
fair middle ground. Setting the ham default threshold to -3 or even -5
seems prudent (_much_ better than the current 0.1), then someone who
actually wants to configure it can adjust based on how well it's
performing and whether they want autolearn on at all.
