Could this be related to that perennial problem of messages not getting filtered the first time through? This has been a nuisance for me almost since the beginning of Spambayes, and it didn't get any better when I switched from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2002. Maybe Will du Pont's symptom occurs when he selects a message that's clearly spam but somehow escaped being classified as it entered the Inbox. If so, initiating a second scan manually ought to clear it up.
