I came in this AM and found 5 Unsure emails which was atypical.

So I decided to run these 5 through bogofilter -vv and see what came up.
Then I reverted back to v 0.17.2 and did it again.
0.17.2 caught two of the 5.  the real answer was 5 ham, 0 spam.

I posted on pair of -vv output at the bottom.  I didn't go with -vvv 
because I didn't want to get too verbose on the mailing list.

For my own sanity, can someone expand on the lexer change?  I didn't see 
it in the Release Notes.  Also, what's a good way to activate this 
variable for transactional processing?

Currently I run all my Input to bogofilter's wordlist through shell 
scripts (train on error, train to exhaustion) and I supposed I could 
just declare it in there.  Yes?
