Collect the 200 and goto boardwalk.  Or Park Place.

What was happening was that when I rebuilt my filters in kmail, I 
neglected to make a stopper filter to dispose of whatever fell thru the 
main list so it wouldn't fall thru into sa-learn. So all the system stuff
was hitting sa-learn, which of course procedes to wipe out the message.

Duh!
