And, just because a message is tagged as spam, it does not mean that the bayes autolearner caused it to be trained.
Really, what you would want to do is --ham, not --forget. --ham will explicitly add information to the database that the message is not spam. --forget will only negate any information resulting from learning that message, but doesn't change the database in any other way. Generally I would avoid using forget, it's really a special-case tool only. If a message was marked incorrectly, feed it to --spam or --ham as needed. (and no, running mis-learned through --forget first doesn't change anything. If a message was learned as spam, and you feed it to sa-learn --ham, SA is smart enough to do a "forget" and "learn as ham" in one pass.)
