That's good, I hope you keep enjoying it.  I would welcome any
suggestions for improvements of the documentation or functionality.

Well, I can make it a customizable option, but with the next major
iteration of spam.el there will be real reclassification.  What this
means is, after a message has been processed with a spam processor,
you could "undo" that processing through reclassification.

Is there a way to specify "-s if message is not registered, -S
otherwise"?  Or are the -S and -N flags OK always?  I'm worried that
-S on an unregistered message might cause a skew in the statistics,
and I don't know if bogofilter allows for that.  If that can't be
done, I'll make the -s/-n flags customizable until the
reclassification abilities are in place.
