Heh, when I started using bogofilter a few weeks ago, I created a
script with the exact same name and similar actions.  For comparision's
sake, I'll append the script to the bottom of this email, and the
.muttrc rules I use with it.  My script isn't verbose, since it runs
through a cron job each night.

Oh, btw, using this script on non-maildir directories is a really, 
really bad thing.  Perhaps a check to make sure each file is a maildir
message first would be a very good thing...

Astute readers will notice that my bogolearn spam and ham directories 
are different in the bogolearn script and the .muttrc are different - 
its because I use offlineimap to syncronize email between the server and
desktop, and it translates the mailbox names.

Looking at the O'Reilly's bogofilter script, I see that I've fallen 
into the bad habit of feeding a file to a command by doing "cat file |
command" instead of "command < file".
