Hi Mark,

two things:

1 - personally I find Thunderbird's builtin (trainable) Junk filter good
enough I wouldn't bother to use bogofilter with Thunderbird if Thunderbird
is used alone.

2 - if Thunderbird isn't the only software, then you can use bogofilter to
insert an X-Spamicity: header into messages and afterwards configure
Thunderbird's filters to move messages marked as spam or unsure into
separate folders.

HTH
