Read the Bogofilter documentation. Basically you have to take a message and pipe it into Bogofilter. From Gnus you can go to an article (AKA message) and type M-: (spam-check-bogofilter) and that should show you the article's score. But I would check from the command line first, so you're sure that if something unexpected happens it's not because Bogofilter is misconfigured. Note your reply went only to me. It should go to the Gnus mailing list so a) others can comment if I'm wrong, and b) it will be saved in the mailing list archives. Thanks Ted
