Thank you. These are FAQ answers but I wasn't sure which answers
to apply in this case. There is something screwy with the 
initial input, just now I tracked another test message as before
and it arrived in the Unsure folder with the same result as before,
 
. Mar  7 23:01:40 mail bogofilter[3721]: X-Bogosity: Unsure, \
.  spamicity=0.520000, version=0.93.5

however, when I recheck the actual message in that Unsure folder 
immediately after it arrives I get...

# bogofilter -vv < long_courier_msg_name
X-Bogosity: Ham, tests=bogofilter, spamicity=0.107097, version=0.93.5
   int  cnt   prob  spamicity histogram

which is more like what I would expect. There is something screwy
about how I am initially feeding the message into bogfilter... 
(see below)... here is the beginning of my maildroprc and the log
entry for the above message in case anyone can see an obvious booboo.

# head /etc/courier/maildroprc
logfile "/var/log/bogofilter.log"
log $HOME
xfilter "/usr/bin/bogofilter -l -u -e -p -c /etc/bogofilter.cf -d $HOME/.bogofilter"

if ((/^X-Bogosity: Spam/:h))
{
`test -d $HOME/Maildir/.Trash`
if ($RETURNCODE)
{
     /^Subject: *!.*/:h
