Wierd bogofilter/procmail thing happening

[David Relson]

Bob,

Spamassassing and bogofilter -u are two methods of automatic 
training.   Both are liable to make classification errors.  They're both 
fine so long as you conscienciously review the results and use "-Sn" and 
"-Ns" to correect errors.
