For one thing, the new FAQ says nothing about how to train the junk
filters. The old FAQ at least mentioned this as something you need to
do.

Both the builtin Help and the FAQ refer directly to the Sourceforge
pages. The FAQ does mention using the distro packages, but then labels
the Sourceforge links as "Install <filter> now". I think this is
unclear. I'll see if I can fix it.
