Brian, thanks, for your prompt and informative reply. I will give up the idea.
BTY, SpamBayes is an open source project which gives very good results.
Recomended...but don't tell Bill!
Thanks once again
Geoff

Dear Brian - you were kind enough to help this previous caller, can
you help with this related question?
I use Spambayes spam scorer (Outlook add-in) which scores spam
according to its certainty. This has permitted a new user-defined
field header called "Spam", the actual fields contain a number
representing the scorer's % "certainty" - a 0% represents ham, 100%
represents spam. I would like to base a rule on the numerical content
of this specific field. Can this be done?

Since rules are string-based and cannot perform quantitative numeric
comparisons, I can't think of a good way to do that off the top of my head.
I have no experience with Spambayes, so I don't know if it can manipulate
messages based on that rating.
