This is exactly what I was to propose. Interestingly, the current set of 
actions resulted from a debate [1] about a change in bogofilter's options 
back in 2004. The people, who were involved back then, realised the fact that 
using the "unregister"-options together with unclassified messages might be 
problematic, but did so nonetheless. Maybe they were not entirely sure about 
the severity of the possible consequences.

I realized that. It makes a quite a big difference on my system.
