Very shrewd comment.  In fact "Lookup in local address book only" was
*not* checked -- now it is.  Maybe things will get better.  Except that
     1. If this is causing problems, I would expect the problems to be
        worst when the program starts up, loads a lot of mail and checks
        it for spam.  Nothing like that.
     2. I don't have LDAP servers specified for any of my address books.
        All are local.

But this could explain why messages from people in my default address
book are getting into my Junk folder.
