Thanks Colin, 

I understood the function of the options.  What's puzzling me is why
putting in those options completely killed my spam filtering over a 5
day period. I changed the "set as junk" and "set as not junk" commands.
I haven't changed the "Classifying command".  I'm using bogofilter -I.
It seems like that is the one that should be executed for the initial
classification on incoming mail.  Should it be modified?
