Yes, but that script, which is automatically run on all missed spam, 
doesn't seem to be very efficient in catching further spam messages with 
a similar body. I've also checked that I have no false positives.

I'll have to check the token scoring differences the next time I get a 
missed spam which I already trained spamprobe on.

Thanks. Note that the manpage still mentions the 'remove' step in the 
section on how to process missed spams.
