Yes, that was why I did away with SA. And bogofilter is certainly much

The emails were all in the Spam folder. I have

Spamassassin because it was more bother trhan it was worth. It looks

At least you know. That's good. I'd caution against doing away with
anti-SPAM software. Although, personally, I use only bogofilter as I
found SA to be too slow. As John suggests, I'd opt for reclassifying the
supposed SPAM as HAM,
since the software is only as good as the teaching it gets.
Had I had these emails before my having got rid of bogofilter I would
certainly have followed this advice; but I uninstalled it in almost a fit of
pique after it helped itself to a whole lot more of my older mail! (I had
reclassified the SPAM as HAM and hoped that by running the filters on those
files I could get the HAM back in the folders where it belonged. At least I
hope to learn from my mistakes!)
I'll see how I get on without a SPAM filter. I have Gmail's SPAM filter
pretty well trained and can probably handle manually the small amount that
bogofilter was identifying that Gmail had missed. It may be worth just
putting a little more effort into training Gmail's SPAM filters.
But I can see the merits in reinstalling bogofilter and just trying to train
it better. So when the dust settles a bit in a day or two, I shall probably
reinstall and start training it.
Thanks for the help.
