Why? If 90% of the messages contain "pass" and 75% of those are spam, why
shouldn't bogofilter know that, well, the distribution for "pass" is
0.75-0.25? It's not like it suddenly ignores all other words of a message.
Don't use Bayesian filters to scan for certain keywords in headers. They
won't work that way, they look at entire messages.
Bogofilter is only useless if you use it for things it wasn't designed for.
For example, I find it to be a useless web server.
