I'm not sure how well thats going to work on FC2 (no anti spam wizard in 
Kmail), with KDE 3.2.2-14.FC2.2.legacy, and mentioning legacy, I've just got 
an email from Fedora Legacy saying FC1, and 2 are going to lose support from 
about the 26th July, but I did realise the day was arriving.

Anyway. I mainly use FC2, but have also got FC3,4, and 5. I'll try Bogofilter 
out on FC5, presume that Kmail there has the anti spam wizard, but it would 
be nice to get the spamfiltering going on FC2 also.

I DL'd Bogofilter 1.0.2, and 1.0.3, and read through a lot of the FAQs, and 
have just found some HOWTOs for Bogofilter and Kmail, on Google.

Thanks.  Nigel.
