Thanks all for the info and sound chastising about not reading the  
help files. It has been quite sometime since I read through the bogo  
faq and -h files.  Yes I have registerd messages incorrectly with the  
-Snv switch.   I keep copies of all my spam emails so Ive fed them  
back through with bogofilter -s .  Seems to be getting things back in  
whack.
