Yes -- but when you learn a message as ham, it learns *all aspects* of
the message -- including the message sender, the network it came from,
boilerplate text in the body etc.

Plus if the sender has a habit of talking about "erectile dysfunction",
you *want* that phrase to have a less spammy overall meaning than the
default SpamAssassin ruleset would give it -- so counterbalancing with
bayes is a good plan.

So it would have a good effect.   The bayesish classifier is good at this
stuff!
