Interestingly, some of the more difficult to train where actually 
misclassified by me.  Fixing that, and reloading a backup wordlist, I 
think it's working.  However, since all the email I was processing was 
nothing to be "unlearned" I skipped the -S -N options.

Two passes and it's done.

Now we'll see how it goes.

Made some cute scripts for it though.  I think I'll run a monthly test 
on my archives to see how many of them have changed state based on 
current learning patterns.
