Similar here for about 2-3 weeks, so there is not EVERY message
landing in the bogus group, but SOME. I am always on the actual CVS
version of Gnus. At the moment, I have no idea where to locate the
problem. I use four mail sources: a local mail spool file, a pop
account with epop3mail and two imap accounts (not with handles via
nnimap but I use imap as a pop++ as noted in the Gnus manual) with the
nnfolder backend. One possible problem could be related to the spam.el
package, which might missunderstand my imap (pop++) account as a
nnimap configuration (imap as a mail storage protocol)?

I also fiddeled around with multibyte and unibyte mode of emacs these
days. That is I used always an unibyte version of emacs but changed
about the same time the bogus group problem showed up to the multibyte
version of emacs (I changed '(setq default-enable-multibyte-characters
nil)' to '(setq default-enable-multibyte-characters t)'. But I am not
shure at all, that the bogus group problem is related to this.

There seem to be other mail splitting problems: B-q does not alwys say
the same as B-r does, and S-t (for bogofilter) does on some articles
report spam, which is not detected when respooling the article with
B-r.

The failures are hard to reproduce. My impression is, as if the
splitting rules are sometimes applied to wrong articles or wrong parts
of the articles. Or, maybe, there is some splitting rules cache laying
around which is not reset? Wasn't there some naorrowing and widening
change in the spam.el these days?

Help is greatly appreciated!
