You misunderstood what I meant.  It's not necessary to specify that this 
is a goodlist or spamlist, just "update this list with this message" so 
--wordlist <filename> could work instead of -s or -n, not in addition to.

So you could say
bogofilter -n <goodmsg
bogofilter -s <spammsg
bogofilter --wordlist misc <miscmsg

Again, I really think that -S and -N are totally unnecessary (for 
user-defined lists), because the lists will almost certainly be 
hand-maintained.  Plus, I think in a lot of cases people will keep 
additional spam lists _without_ additional goodlists.  -S and -N make no 
sense if you only have one list.

I think it'd be good to wait and see if there's any real problems before 
we go add options that are never going to be used.
