WRT Thunderbird, it can rely on SpamPal or SpamAssassin headers, and
that's it - its built-in filter is trainable and IMO works rather well.

Bogofilter integration would require a setup that files Unsure/Junk into
separate (IMAP) folders externally and that trains from separate folders
that users would have to move unsure/misclassified mail into.

So let's just scrap that Thunderbird info from the FAQ.
