Chris,

As originally written the script registers a spam message and then moves
it to the archive.  With your modification, multiple runs of the script
will keep registering a message until it scores as spam.  I'm not at all
sure that's what Johannes wants.  I know I don't keep registering a
message until it scores "correctly".  Also, multiple registering is
contrary to the bayesian principle.
