Training with mailbox format files

Hi,

We've been using bogofilter now for several weeks and since we're still
fine tuning, we deliver all mail, SPAM or not -- but prepend [SPAM] to the
subject header when it's SPAM.  I have a couple mailboxes that folks copy
misclassified messages into, and I use those to further train bogofilter.

The easiest way for me to collect the messages is to drag them from the
server to a local mailbox on my workstation.  The problem is that the
software I use, Mulberry, writes them to a single rfc822 format mailbox
file.  Can I train bogofilter by giving it that single file, or must I
break the messages up and feed them one at a time?

Thanks,
Rob
