Hi,
I just reinstalled my machine and in getting my mail etc back I
neglected to install bogofilter, but I had gnus configured to run
bogofilter on my imap downloaded mail. When I first downloaded my mail
gnus (v5.10.2) produced errors making me realise what I had done
wrong. Unfortunately, it also seemed to lose the mail that had been
downloaded from imap that it was trying to pass through bogofilter. Is
this a bug, or is my lost mail hidden in some temp file waiting for me
to find it?
Thanks,
Ian

If spam-split was last in your split methods, and it returns nil, you
will find your mail in the "bogus" group. spam-split should not be
last, though, unless you use spam-use-ifile.

Thanks, my mail is in the bogus group. Haven't a clue why I didn't find
it when I went routing round my mail directory.
I'm also confused that it got sent here as spam-split isn't the the
last method, but the first! I would have expected the spam to end up
in my mail groups instead. Oh well, its just a couple of hundred
messages I can easily file them by hand.

Well, it was obviously bogus :) Just be glad it was not called
"fnord."

Maybe the last thing in your split methods returned nil?
Also, if spam-split generates an error maybe that will send things to
'bogus'? There was a recent patch to CVS for Bogofilter in
particular - you may want to look at it. Turn up gnus-verbose to 10
and look at the *Messages* buffer next time you see this problem.
Thanks
