Hi Gerald,

Welcome to the exciting world of spam filtering with bogofilter.  You've
chosen to experiment with bogofilter's newest supporting program -
bogotune.  That's great!  However version 0.15.11 also has you using a
program that has been undergoing development for the past couple of
months and has been changing rapidly.  

I'd recommend getting the newest release, which is 0.15.13.  I'm not
sure if my Mandrake 9.2 built RPMs are SUSE compatible or not and
suggest trying to install them.  If they're not compatible, then get the
.tgz and build from source.  

If the problem is present with the new release, let me know so it can be
fixed.

David
