Thank you for the suggestion. It's most peculiar, as no one else seems 
to have this problem.

At the moment, Thunderbird is behaving itself. I have used it a lot 
today, and all has been well.

If it happens again, I will do your suggestion of resetting the 
Adaptive Filter/Training Data and be very careful what I mark as 
spam!

Thanks again.
