Having read the documentation again I decided to postpone the re-installation.  
The deciding factor was the statement that at least 2000 ham and 2000 spam 
messages were required for reasonable training.  As I had been deleting spam 
daily, I would need to build a store before I could start again.

It seemed reasonable, though, to attempt to improve matters while I am 
building that store, so I edited the cut-off section of /etc/bogofilter.cf 
like this:

##ham_cutoff = 0.45			# default
ham_cutoff = 0.25
##spam_cutoff= 0.99			# default
spam_cutoff= 0.77

The ham_cutoff point is that recommended as a start-point in the 
documentation.  The spam_cutoff is taken from the returned value of

bogoutil -R ~/.bogofilter/wordlist.db

I appear to be getting very good results now, although this is less than 24 
hours of testing.  If anything significantly good or bad turns up I'll report 
back.
