In that case, it's just plain weird,.. I explicitly looked at the x-spam header
of the mail (as it was forwarded from another mail server):
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.0.0 (2004-09-13) on
	southcarolina.backend
X-Spam-Status: No, score=1.0 required=10.0 tests=FORGED_RCVD_HELO,HTML_40_50,
	HTML_FONT_BIG,HTML_MESSAGE,HTTP_ESCAPED_HOST,TW_IJ,TW_JB,TW_JD,TW_JG,
	TW_JK,TW_JZ,TW_RK autolearn=no version=3.0.0
X-Spam-Level: *
X-SA-Exim-Version: 3.1 (built Thu Oct 23 13:26:47 PDT 2003)
X-SA-Exim-Scanned: Yes

but whatever:-) Only occasionally something goes wrong. Actually only this
e-mail and one from the chess-engines-yahoo group were falsely accused. It would
be nice though to have filters that prevent stuff from being marked as spam. For
instance, I give all subject: [chess-engines] the label 'chess', but this
doesn't prevent it from being marked as spam. It would be nice if this e-mail
would steer clear of my spam-folder.

Have fun testing, Laurens.
