[Hmm. I sent a reply via email. Didn't show up. So I'll put it in via the web form. Sorry if it shows up twice.]
My system puts the SA score at the beginning of the subject header and puts the spam messages into a directory. Then users view the spam box in subject sorted order in their mail user agents. Normally, they would see the least spammy messages at the top of the list and the most spammy messages at the bottom. This makes it easy to spot false postivies. But this bug means the users see the messages with scores >= 10 on top, then somewhere down the index messages with scores < 10 will show up. If there's a lot of spam, the lower scored messages will be on another page of the index. The user may think all of the messages are very spammy, so use some "delete all" functionality. The upshot is the user may inadvetently delete a false positive. Example of Expected View: 05.3 | not so bad, maybe false positive 09.8 | getting up there! 12.2 | more spam 19.8 | come hither ... loads of other spam ...
