That IS a good fix, provided you use Postfix, which Brett doesn't seem to do.
Much more likely that there simply is nothing in the quarantine to
learn from. There is a simple one-line fix to message_ops.php that
"enhance the SQL to actually check that the message is quarantined
(fix by Dhawal Doshy, go search the MailWatch list archives...)... If
one want to be able to do this at all, one need to include "store" in
the Non Spam Actions ...
Brett, if you look at the details page for the message, do you have
the "learn/release" block at the bottom? I'm pretty certain you don't.

Oh and BTW, this should've gone to the MailWatch list rather than the
MailScanner one... Slightly OT here:-).
