Not at all ;)

This will not change.

instead of saying 

	bogofilter -s < spam.mbx 

you'd now say
	
	formail -s bogofilter -s < spam.mbx

'formail' happens to be my mailbox splitter of choice, but
there are others too.

This operation would be slower than the old version since we open and close
the database files for each mail. If it is substantially slower, we can create
a registration front-end for mbox format mailboxes.
