It's been years since I stopped using SA, and can't remember the details
of its accuracy.

I rarely see false positives with bogofilter.  Mostly, things land in
the "unsure" pile.  Those messages are more often than not spam,
though.  The messages that almost always fail to be detected as spam are
those with blank subject header and a link to a web site as the only
text in the body.

Good point;  My wordlist.db is probably a bit out of date.  I'll start
re-training, I think.
