Hello,

Bogofilter's purpose is to classify a message as spam or ham.  The
purpose of its logging message is to leave a simple record of a ham/spam
score.  The logging message is customizable and is documented in
bogofilter.cf.  Take a look at that and see if the formatting is able to
produce the info you want.  If not let me know.

Hope this helps,

David
