Eric, 
	
	Yes, but remember that e-mail software also puts 'FW:', 'Fwd:" into the 
subject line, to mark forwarded messages, some of them takes all subject into 
brackets '[' ']'. 

	Actually, as far as I understand bogofilter is statistical analysis tool, so 
in theory FW, Fwd words should occur in both spams and hams, so weight of 
these words shouldn't have much input into final score.
