1) I wish that PP automatically evaluates after a thumbs down/up change.
My initial response to this was simply going to be that, after a while when you've marked enough messages, it doesn't really matter. And my main hesitation is that evaluating a message isn't resource-free.
BUT... most of those "resources" are in the URI/DNS-BL's, so if PP were to just re-process the affected filters (bayesian and white/black list) and simply re-use the previous results for the others, then that wouldn't be too bad. So... yeah, added to my list of things to consider.

2) You can see the information popup window has no "User: junk/legit"
Shouldn't that have "User: junk/legit"
It could (and I added that to my list, too), but I don't think it's particularly relevant -- The purpose of that popup is to show why POP Peeper evaluated the message the way that it did, e.g. if a rule mis-evaluated a message, then you may want to tweak or disable that rule.

3) In the attached the evaluation column
rectangle diamond is green, but the Evaluation box
and message are red.
They should all be the same color, right?
No. The diamond represents how POP Peeper (aka "system") evaluated it -- it thought it was legit. The thumbs down represents how you evaluated it -- you said it was junk. As mentioned before, as far as coloring is concerned (and, by that, I mean the background coloring), the user's evaluation trumps the system's evaluation, so that's why it's colored red. The contrasting diamond color could be used to quickly see which messages are disputed and allow the user to investigate further if they want.
In this specific case, even re-evaluating the message won't matter because the (edit)Bayesian filter has already determined it was Junk. But, the email address is in your white list, which has more weight than Bayesian. I would say that it's a questionable tactic to mix how you mark messages from one sender. If you're signed up for a newsletter and there are particular types of email from that sender that you're not interested in, it's usually better to create a specific rule to delete those (or see if you can opt out of those specific types of email). There are probably other tactics you could try if it's for curiosity sake (change the weight of the white list to 1.0, or remove their address from your whitelist -- actually, maybe not removing because it could be re-added to a white/black list when you mark it, so maybe change the weight for that specific email address to 0.0... ah, you can't do that because it thinks you want to use default in that case, so maybe 0.1 [lower values are quirky and may or may not work, added to my notes]).
