Evolution junk mail bogofilter-fu

I’ve been using Evolution as a mail user agent, primarily so I have a workable calendaring solution on Linux. Having tried out Mozilla Thunderbird, Sunbird, Lightning, with and without Google Calendar integration, I’m happy to use something that just works.

Unfortunately (you saw this coming, didn’t you?) all is not well with Evolution in Intrepid Ibex, Ubuntu 8.10. When I enabled junk mail filtering, I started getting the exciting message:

Pipe to Bogofilter failed, error code: 3

Ah, error code 3. It’s almost like being on a Mac in the olden days. Anyway, there’s a simple solution: mark a message as junk, then mark it again as not junk. For the full rationale, see bogofilter error messages in evolution.
