Simon,

With bogofilter's use of many tokens from each email in scoring, I've
yet to see a problem caused by one or two misclassified tokens.

I apologize if I've corrupted your wordlist.  There was no such
intention.

I just included a small portion from the message so as not to trigger a
spam classification.

Assuming you're using procmail, maildrop, etc, you could whitelist the
mailing list with a simple test.  That'd keep list messages out of your
wordlist.

Cheers!

David
