Ok, for the record, looks like I managed to merge the 2 sets of
data. I ran sa-learn --backup on both sets. I then adjusted the spam,
and not spam number to be the total from both sets, and pasted the
rest of one of the files to the end of the other. I than ran sa-learn
- --restore with the updated file to import it into my mom's directory,
and it looks to have gone fine. Sa-learn --dump is now reporting the
correct numbers for spam, ham, and seen tokens on her set of data.
