Hi Greg,

I've been negligent in updating the documentation.  Using the info from
the 17 May email, I'll do an update.

I'll look into the timestamp problem :-)

If you're using 0.91.0, you might want to update to 0.91.1 which has
some fixes for multiple wordlists.  Unfortunately 0.91.1 is also
slightly broken and complains if two copies are run simultaneously.  The
problem can be avoided by using locks in your procmail recipe.

Regards,

David

P.S.  Please note that bogofilter at bogofilter.org is the proper address
for the list.
