I have near-perfect bogofilter results with only 2426 non-spam messages
and 3567 spam messages registered. The Robinson algorithm (-r) seems to
be more effective than the default. For me, bogofilter is more accurate
than spamassassin, thus I've dropped SA altogether for my personal use.
The "foreign language problem" should no longer be an issue for anyone
but CJK users.
