Training question

[Stephen Davies]

The "good" numbers came from a period of a couple of days when my -Ns proc was 
broken and, as I asked, I don't know how to get rid of them.

I do not use -u at all.

I "retrain" by running each undetected spam through bogofilter -Ns once and 
then through bogofilter -s five times. I would expect - and the -w numbers 
seem to confirm - that this stacks the stats against these texts.

Why does this not work?
