RP,

The FAQ describes "-vvv" output.  The final column indicates whether the
token is included in the score or not.  Inclusion is controlled by the
value of min_dev and yours appears to be 0.15 (or close to that).

Whether a message is considered spam, ham, unsure in controlled by the
values of spam_cutoff and ham_cutoff.  Running "bogofilter -Q" will show
you the values of those parameters.

Lastly, tokens can be excluded by using an ignore list.  See "Can I tell
bogofilter to ignore certain tokens?" in the FAQ.  Ignore lists _are_ a
feature of 0.15.7, but there may well have related changes since then.

HTH,
