My first false positive ever!  Sort of.  Both the spam and the reply 
quoting the whole spam classified as spam.  Just too many cialises and 
viagras in there.  It was close though.  The bogofilter headers really 
put up a fight.  I'm glad the original spam was filtered, though I view 
the reply as a false positive (as borderline as it might be) since it 
was a list member making a post.  I wouldn't be upset in the least if I 
never saw that reply.  I will train on the reply as an error however to 
boost the effectiveness of the list headers.
