David,
As of what I just downloaded & built a couple of days ago (0.11.1.8),
the bogofilter man page still says:
For speed, MIME and other attachments are not decoded.
I'm a bit afraid to go & see what the latest version is now, but I suspect
the man page is lagging. (I hope so.)

(Thanks for all the time you folks spend on this. When do you earn a living?)
