Hi!

I used /etc/bogofilter.cf for my ~/.bogofilter.cf (just
doing what I wanted to change). I have to say that this file
is completely intricate. Various options are given more than
once (I don't really want to know what happens, if you set
them differntly at different places because you don't see
they are set elsewhere). So I suggest a cleanup.

Let me just quickly go over it.

1) Intro (good)

2) ALGORITHM (do we need some explanation?)

3) BLOCK ON SUBNETS (I don't understand that text)

4) BOGOFILTER_DIR (good)

5) CHARSET info (not clear which effect this has, no need
for that many other examples, one is enough)

6) REPLACE_NONASCII_CHARACTERS (good, but unlear if effected
by 5), no need for #replace_nonascii_characters=Y)

7) SPAM_HEADER_NAME (good)

8) MINIMUM DEVIATION (excellent, but no need for
# min_dev=0.2)

9) Robinson Constants (this is seriously missplaced,
furthermore, it is not clear which algorithms are effected
by this setting, i.e., if this is needed for Graham or Fisher)

10) STATS_IN_HEADER (good, but no need for #stats_in_header=N)

11) CUTOFF Values (missplaced, I'd suggest to have all
things which define values for specific algorithms to the
very end, many values here are also listed below, good
explanation, though)

12) THRESHOLD Values (???)

13) USER_CONFIG_FILE (why this, why not next to 4)?)

14) WORDLIST (I guess it should follow 13))

15) New Message Formatting Options (this need to be renamed,
good text)

16) more details for algorithms (should stay here, but
settings from 9), 11), and 12)? should be merged here)
