This document scored at 0.500004 on the first run, and after training on
that message (bogofilter -s), it scored 1.000000 -- so apparently
bogofilter learns this quite fast. On my machine, it has some distinct
options, among them (top 7). This is with a pre-0.14.4 CVS version of
bogofilter (0.14.4 is hardly different) with mostly default settings and
huge data base that didn't have such spam yet.

Can you post the output of "bogofilter -vvv <spam.txt", too?
