Wow, that sounds like a lot of work just to correct a missclassification
... how are you initially running your email through bogofilter?
Perhaps you can add on to that so you can have it do the
reclassification for you.  So you can just send the email back to the
server and let it do all the druge work.

With Qmail its pretty easy to setup an -extension to do this for you,
like "cwilkes-shouldbespam" or "cwilkes-thisisham" and have it do the
regsistering for you.  I'm sure you can do the same with a procmail
receipe, you might have to add a subject line line "SPAM" and key off of
that.
