Ah...thanks. But, may I make so bold as to ask whether the connection
between 'stats_in_header', and the 'v' switch, is anywhere made
explicit? Short of guessing that somehow "stats" and, say, "histogram"
might be related to each other, I can't find any mention of their
inter-relatedness in the man page, or in the sample bogofilter.cf. Or
did I just make (another) BDM ("big dummy mistake"), and miss
something obvious? :-)

Oh yes. Also, it seems a few changes will make the histogram more
readable on 80 character screens:

In bogoconfig.c:

178     stats_prefix= stats_in_header ? "" : "";


and in rstats.c:

214         /* scale histogram to 50 characters */
215         /* make that: 48 */
216         if (maxcnt>48) cnt = (cnt * 48 + maxcnt - 1) / maxcnt;
     
My personal kludges, of course; I'm sure there are more elegant ways
to get that job done.

Best,
