Not at this time, the meaning of spam-strong and ham-strong is unclear to me and doesn't stand out in the documentation. -s/-n - REGISTER message as spam/ham (ham = non-spam) -S/-N - UNREGISTER message as spam/ham (undo a registration, must use the same message) These options can be combined, to fix up a false training, -Sn moves a message from spam to ham and -Ns moves it from ham to spam. >> I'd suggest refusing to work with bogofilter versions older than >> 0.10.2 and it's recommended to warn about versions older than 0.17.5 >> which is now three months old.

The users chose to use a development version, with all the implications such as a minor release becoming incompatible with the previous, anything but the current version unsupported, frequent updates and the like. 0.11.0, when the meaning of the registration options was changed for the last time, was released in March 2003 - over 17 months ago, which is an entire era for a software under development. It's sensible to request frequent updates of users using a development version. Don't waste your time on the 0.1 % of machines that run outdated bogofilter versions - use the registration as mentioned above and refuse work with versions before and excluding 0.11.0. > Gnus is in Emacs, and that means we have to handle old software too > occasionally. It's not going to help anybody if someone uses some two-year-old version of bogofilter today. -- Matthias Andree NOTE YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE MY MAIL IF YOU'RE USING SPF!
