It seems that bogotrain is looking for the IDs of the old messages that I 
removed.  The current run says

Total   messages: 137

Total        ham: 10
Misdetected  ham: 0
    retrain fail: 0

Total       spam: 43
Misdetected spam: 108
    retrain fail: 108
 but in fact there are only 10 messages in ham and 43 in spam.  I see many 
lines of

/usr/share/bogofilter/contrib/trainbogo.sh: line 
237: /home/anne/Maildir/.INBOX.bogotrain_spam/cur//1197394234.P20404Q12.david.lydgate.lan:2,S: 
No such file or directory

where the message number refers to old mail, no longer in that box.  Is there 
anything I can do about it?
