pi,

The usefulness of capital letters has not yet been verified with 
bogofilter.  Greg is running a test to see if there's a noticable 
performance improvement.  I'm sure he'll report when he has definitive results.

To answer your question, for quickest and best results, it would probably 
be worth rebuilding.  If you don't rebuild, new tokens with capital letters 
won't be recognized until enough traing has occurred.  If using "-u" for 
autoupdating, bogofilter should soon learn about the new tokens.
