Bogofilter and reclassifying

[Nathaniel]

Thanks for the replys (both on and off the list).

Attached is a shell script I came up with to only reclassify mail that must be 
reclassified.  Only real caveat is that it will set the X-Bogosity header out 
of sync with what the file might really be scored as (the headers are already 
out of sync anyway, though).  This is to prevent the script from 
reclassifying multiple times (but also allows implementation of train to 
exhaustion really easily, if wanted).  Train to exhaustion should probably be 
a seperate script anyway, since things would be incorrectly weighed if only 
reclassified messages are trained to exhaustion.

Please let me know of any problems/ideas/suggestions.
