Why is BAYES_00 -2.60 scoring low like this.

Or better yet, use sa-learn to relearn any spam marked BAYES_00.  Or, 
for even better results, any spam not scoring BAYES_99.  (While learning 
suitable ham, too.)  The goal is not simply to lower the amount Bayes 
filtering messes up your scoring when it's wrong, continuing to permit 
it to assess spam incorrectly (if you don't want bayes to affect your 
scores, why use up the resources it requires?), but instead to have it 
actually correctly assess whether a message is in fact spam.
