A tristate question.

My fault. I upgraded bogofilter from 0.93 to 0.94.1, but screwed something as my former
0.93 /etc/bogofilter.cf stood in place.

My fault again. I indeed know the # thing for a comment, but I
completely misunderstood the thing, and thought there was a tristate
convention, depending on the '#' number.
Perfectly clear now, I will update my settings accordingly.


Very responsive list indeed. A pleasure.

Thanks you so much for responding.
