Greetings Mario,

The original release of bogofilter used the algorithm described in A Plan 
For Spam.  That algorithm, known as the Graham algorithm, analyzed all 
words in the message and picked the 15 words most indicative of spam or 
non-spam.  The message was scored on the basis of those 15 extrema.

A newer algorithm proposed by Gary Robinson looks at _all_ words of the 
message and computes a score based on them.  Parameters can be set to tell 
bogofilter to ignore uninteresting words.  See the bogofilter-FAQ (URL at 
the end of this message) for links to the article.
