Hi Tom. Ok. I've sent the spam to myself, forwarded as an attachment. first 
time it turned up in the unsure box rather than the inbox. Second run put it 
straight into my spamcheck box, thus correctly identified as spam. Sorry for 
my ignorance, but when I forward as an attachment, is bogofilter scanning the 
attachment just as it would with the the original e-mail?

Regarding your scripts. I've not much experience with scripts, and often 
unsure where to put them, and how to run them. I appreciate that your 
probably busy with stuff, but if you have the time, how should I go about 
using the bfproxy one with Kmail? You say that it needs to go before 
bogofilter, but I'm not sure how to set this up. It's no problem if you don't 
have the time.

Nigel.
