Awesome, Dude!!!  I figured something like that was going on and went
back and downloaded the 0.17.6 beta for Windows.  Installed it and then
followed everything you had previously posted (it now made sense...)
and everything works perfect-amundo!  I can't thank you enough ... the
original link was from ScreenSavers and must've been intended for Unix
and Mac(now Unix too) users.  I used the insert.pl  script to
capture/analyze 15 Spam messages and 15 non-Spam messsages and since
then, Popfile has been sorting them like a champ ... it's about 80-90%
accurate right now and getting better.  BTW, I agree with your
recommendation to not allow modification of the message "subject"
field.
Thanks for your patience and assistance!  - - - Phil
