I'm thinking of a rewrite of the bogofilter functionality into
something that looks more like the ifile functionality - cleaner,
takes articles as strings, etc.

I didn't write the bogofilter functionality, so I'm not familiar with
all the assumptions it makes.  I think the rewrite will be better in
that it will only work with the current article buffer, like all split
functions are supposed to.  It may have *other* bugs but this one will
be gone.  Hurrah for progress :)

I'll probably get around to it today or tomorrow...
