Suggestion for spam.el (+ bogofilter)

Suggestion for spam.el (+ bogofilter)

[Torsten Hilbrich]

I have configured spam.el (current version 6.37) to use bogofilter on
all spam-marked messages in my nnml:Junk group.  After processing with
bogofilter, the messages should be expired.

The processing with bogofilter works, the expiry doesn't.  

I have traced the call of spam-mark-spam-as-expired-and-move-routine
and noticed, that the previously spam-marked (H) articles are marked
read (R) after being processed by bogofilter.  Therefore the articles
are not marked as expired.  

The spam-mark should probably be preserved in this case case, so the
expiry can work.

This is my configuration of spam.el:

(custom-set-variables
 '(gnus-spam-newsgroup-contents (quote (("Junk" gnus-group-spam-classification-spam))))
 '(gnus-spam-process-newsgroups (quote (("Junk" (gnus-group-spam-exit-processor-bogofilter)))))
 '(spam-blacklist "~/News/spam/blacklist")
 '(spam-bogofilter-spaminfo-header-regexp "^X-\\(jf\\|Junk\\|NoSpam\\|Spam\\|SB\\|Bogosity\\)[^:]*:")
 '(spam-use-blacklist t)
 '(spam-use-bogofilter t)
 '(spam-use-whitelist t)
 '(spam-whitelist "~/News/spam/whitelist"))

(spam-group-spam-contents-p "nnml:Junk") is non-nil

I think I fixed it with code in gnus-sum.el.  I set the spam-mark as
one of the special marks that don't get reset to the read mark when
the article is read, so it will behave more like the ticked-mark.  Let
me know if this works for you.

Thanks

It perfectly works.  Thank you for the quick response.
