bogofilter-faq [was: Well, it happened]

[David Relson]

Dan,

I've updated the FAQ with the answer to your question.  You can read it at 
http://bogofilter.sourceforge.net/bogofilter-faq.html.  If you'd be so kind 
as to read it and provide feedback, that'd be useful to other users and 
would also be helpful to the project.

Thanks.

David
