DM: Hi, Gil. 🙂️ I don't use bogofilter or other spam filter with
Claws, but I'm assuming that these are just two different ways of doing
the same thing. It is pretty common with Claws and many other pieces of
software to have multiple ways of doing things. Different users prefer
doing it different ways, so when they give an answer to a question like
yours, they will normally describe the way they do it, especially if
that's the only one they use. I guess if you feel you need certainty on
this, then probably only the developers (or other users who would know
how to check the code or do the testing) would be able to answer your
specific question. If they do end up being the same thing, then perhaps
you could create an enhancement request in the issue tracker to have
text strings used be the same for all instances of the same action, in
case that would help to avoid confusion for some people. Cheers,
