Hey Paul (not *the* Paul Smith?),

Thanks for your mail.

I wasn't involved in the original decision, but I would bet that it's
because Canonical does not want to support two spam classifiers in the
main section of the archive.

bogofilter support in Evolution has to be enabled or disabled at compile
time (testing for the presence of the executable), but as far as I can
see the plugin only calls the executable and doesn't use any library so
it is only actually required at *runtime*.

Which means, unless I'm mistaken (I only looked briefly), that someone
so interested could submit a patch to Evolution, preferably upstream, to
move the check from build to runtime.

Cheers,
