If you look on the description of the bogofilter plugin on
/Configuration/Plugins/Bogofilter, you will read:

"Before Bogofilter can recognize spam messages, you have to train it by
marking a few hundred spam and ham messages with the use of "/Mark/Mark as
spam" and "/Mark/Mark as ham"."

Do you really imagine that this means that you will have to work on
individual messages several hundred times? I will go as far as to say, well,
of course it doesn't mean that.

To be clear: bogofilter learns from each and every selected message when
using 'Learn as Ham' and 'Learn as Spam'.

with regards

Paul
