I am new to Bogofilter. Had been using Spam Assassin for years and wanted to try 
something different as it was not giving the results I wanted anymore. Bogo is 
generally working well. I have no false spam. My problem is I have a fairly high 
unsure count which is 99% spam. I weed out the good ones and send them to 
bogofilter with a -Sn  switch. Then I send the entire remaining unsure to 
bogofilter with the -Ns switch.

My problem is the unsure's are not going down and the majority of them have 
Viagra in the subject. It is not obfuscated in any way.  I see few if any Viagra 
emails in the spam mail.  Am I doing something wrong? I have probably feed 
several hundred or more unsure's like this so far. Is there a way to strongly 
add a word.

Here is my historgram....
