I suspect that you need to train it on some ham. If you did some spam
training (either from stuff lying around, or new spam coming in) then
bogofilter only has zero or negative things to say about words in the
mail. You need some ham to give it an idea about what you do want to
see. I would suggest that you set you INBOX/Misc folder to be ham [1],
unread a messages then register them as ham. That should get things working.

I have the following rules:

        (: spam-split 'spam-use-regex-headers)
        (any "help-gnu-emacs"                   "INBOX/Emacs/Help")
        (any "info-gnus-english"                "INBOX/Emacs/Gnus")
        (... many other specific rules ...)
        (: spam-split)
        "INBOX/Misc"

Nothing is ever going into INBOX/Misc.  If it does not match the specific
rule it is considered spam.  Is this just due to lack of training or did I
screw something up?
