This may be a red herring; it hasn't reappeared even though I've gotten
plenty of spam since then.

By "console" do you mean whatever Evo prints to stdout/stderr?  I
normally start it from GNOME Shell and I have no idea where the output
goes.  However see below.

I saved a spam message as mbox and ran bogofilter on it and it exited
with 2 (unsure).

OK I did this.  It's a little annoying that the debugging rarely flushe
s.  It took me a while to realize that I was getting no output just
because I hadn't waited long enough, then it spewed out in a big chunk
:).

But as above, I see all spam email being determined inconclusive:

 Sender 'Wireless Security Camera Options <WirelessSecurityCameraOptions croakita top>' in book? 0
 Junk filter classification: inconclusive
 Message is determined to be clean

No matter how much I train I still get inconclusive.  So maybe this is
an issue with bogofilter not Evo.

One thing I don't understand is why my bogofilter wordlist file is not
being updated, unless I explicitly train (with CTRL-J to specify spam).
 Doesn't Evo train all email?
