Well, I think I found my problem.  I was testing several spam
messages (stored in mbox format in tmp) against the newly added
rules by running:

  cat tmp | formail -s sendmail theo

Apparently this must process the mail differently than the normal
receiving routine.  If I use "bounce" in Pine, the Bayes results are
approximately the same as before adding the new rules.  I don't
quite understand the difference, but would welcome any explanations
folks might care to offer.
