Thanks. I use those already. The problem is _unregistering_. Let's say
that I accidentally register a ham message as spam (M-d). After leaving
the group the message is registered for the bogofilter database with
bogofilter option "-s" and moved to my spam destination nnml:spam. I
notice the mistake and go to to nnml:spam group where I want to
unregister the message as spam _and_ register it as ham ("bogofilter -S"
and "bogofilter -n").

With your example the message is not unregistered as spam, only
registered as ham ("bogofilter -n"). So the bogofilter database will
still remember that the content of this message was once registered as
spam.

I confirmed this by using a scratch bogofilter database and dumping its
content each time the message was processed by Gnus. No unregistering
happens.

I think the manual does not explain at all this unregistering thing.
Only the code shows some indication that such feature exists.
