	My thanks to all.  I got a bit behind on the replies and will
give bogofilter a try.  I don't care so much which program I run as
long as it can be trained to safely recognize most of the spam.  The
admonitions to always check the work of one's filter are well taken. I
have a folder which is really like all the others except that it is
called "spam" and I simply look at the subjects each day to make sure
a valid message or someone's complaint message about spam hasn't
mistakenly been dumped there.
