-t output

[David Relson]

pi,

Bogofilter allows user specified formatting for reporting its status.  Look 
in file format.c at variables header_format, terse_format, 
log_header_format, log_update_format, spamicity_tags, and 
spamicity_tags.  They are all changeable via config file entries.

header_format gives the usual "X-Bogosity: Yes, tests=bogofilter, 
spamicity=0.976543, version=0.14.0.1" messages.  However changing the 
various variable also allow: "X-Spam-Header: Spam, spamicity=0.976543".

Similarly, the terse_format default is "Y 0.976543" but could be changed to 
"Spam bogofilter 0.976543".

The default spamicity_tags are "Y/N/U", but I prefer "S/H/U".  They could 
as easily be "A/B/C" or any other three strings.

Moral:  a customized config file can make life difficult for a script.  To 
use a script, a user needs to have a compatible config file or else must 
modify the script.
