Hi Richard,

Have you tried googling for "bogofilter +kmail". The needed answer
might show up there.

I gave it a quick try and found "spam\b" mentioned as the regular
expression to use.  Unfortunately, I don't know what "\b" means in a
KMail regexp.

You might try using "spam," instead of "spam\b".

Another idea is to add the following line at the end of your
bogofilter.cf file:

spamicity_tags = Yes, No, Unsure

Typically the bogofilter.cf file is in /etc, though your distro might
have put it in directory ~/.bogofilter/.  Along with the spamicity_tags
line you'll want to change "spam\b" to "Yes".

Learning a new OS and configuring mail user agents and spam filters,
etc can be tricky.  However you will learn a lot about you mail is
handled, delivered, and other such matters.

HTH,

David
