Hi,

I just upgraded to BogoFilter 0.9.0 with the Robinson
algorithm being the default.  I rebuilt the spam and
nonspam databases and though the spam being caught
did increase, as did false positives.  In particular, the
original graham algorithm was pretty good at determining a
nonspam email with an html attachment, the Robinson
algorithm seems to clacify any html email as spam.  Much of
my spam is indeed html email but Robinson must give the
html entities more weight.

Regards,
Shane
