[pLog-svn] Bayesian filter and trackbacks

Hello,
    That was partially what I was talking about.  This is what I saw.

I got a bunch of notification emails.  When I clicked on the links in  
the emails, none of the articles had any of the new trackbacks or  
comments.

Then when I looked at the dashboard, I saw the new trackbacks.  But  
as Jon mentioned, I couldn't mark them as spam there. So I went to  
the post list for this article, and it had 0 as the number of  
trackbacks.

But the trackbacks were listed in the trackback tab, and I was able  
to mark them as spam and delete them from there.

I haven't seen this since Saturday morning.  I will look into it if  
it happens again.
