+Subject: Prevent GSettings from freaking out over a missing junk filter.
+
+Boy does GSettings like to abort applications!  The default value for
+the 'junk-default-plugin' key is 'Bogofilter' but if the key's mapping
+function cannot find Evolution's Bogofilter integration module (it is
+optional after all, so may not be installed), then indicating failure
+will make GSettings abort Evolution.  So always indicate success.
