I've collected <checks disk> 850Mb of spam/non-spam over the years. That
is an awful lot of stuff to filter by hand ! (though a large chunk has
been filtered in the last two years by just throwing all Korean mail into
the spam bin)

I haven't actually fed all 850Mb to bogofilter as only the more recent
couple of hundred meg has been accurately filtered.
