Excellent, my own guinea pig!  I mean, tester... :)

Oops.  It's an "unless" now.  Thanks.

Make sure you use the (customize-group "spam") interface.  It's much
easier to get the format right that way.

Your spam group(s) need to have the ifile spam-processor added, and to
have the spam-contents set to spam.  Customize the group or topic, or
you can do it through customizing the gnus-spam-process-newsgroups
variable.  See my earlier message for a quick primer on spam/ham
processors and group contents.

The 'Y' mark stands for a lowered score, right?  spam.el only marks
unread articles as spam on summary entry in a spam group, and only
processes spam-marked articles with the group's spam processors on
summary exit (for any group, not just spam groups).
