I've run trainbogo four or five times, and the last twice I got

Total   messages: 137

Total        ham: 29
Misdetected  ham: 1
    retrain fail: 1

Total       spam: 108
Misdetected spam: 3
    retrain fail: 3

I'm sure this will produce an improvement, but should I try to identify the 
failures in some way?  I presume that I should empty the training directories 
and start a clean collection.
