I'll do some tinkering this week and see what comes out.  I'm in full-on
exam revision mode at the moment, unfortunately :-(

In addition to your script, what other information would be useful?  I'd imagine
a log of the output of the following - but is there anything else?

$ ls -l ~/.bogofilter
$ cat spammy | bogofilter -WW -u
$ cat hammy  | bogofilter -WW -u
$ ls -l ~/.bogofilter

Cheers!
