David, I'd appreciate if you could share your format options.
The algorithm option only seems to show "fisher" when using RF.

Also, even though I compiled it to use RF, I had to uncomment both
algorithm=robinson
&
algorithm=fisher

to get the Tri-State mode working. This seems a bit confusing, as was the 
configure option (the one you gave me worked, I guess, but I still had to 
set both in the config file apparently).

I'm now using:

algorithm=robinson
algorithm=fisher
ham_cutoff = 0.10
spam_cutoff = 0.95
spamicity_tags = Yes, No, Unsure
spamicity_formats =  %0.6f, %0.6f, %0.6f

This seems to work fine.

Thanks,
Barry
