    It may be turned on in the config files, but I am guessing that the code is
    skipping the bayesian score contribution until the mail count gets to 200 on
    each side (ham/spam).

    I just grabbed a lot of email I had already and fed it into the sa-learn.
    I think I have enough now that it is working.

    I'm not sure, I just kind of fiddled with it a few times in the early hours
    and got it working.
