Won't that start bogofilter from scratch for every comprised message,
causing it to repeatedly incur the overhead of loading and saving the
database, rather than amortizing that cost over all the messages?

	$ rm *.db	
	$ time bogofilter -d . -v -s < ~/Maildir/archive/spambox 
	# 1242738 words, 3363 messages

	real    0m14.139s
	user    0m8.100s
	sys     0m2.800s

	$ rm *.db
	$ time formail -s bogofilter -d . -s < ~/Maildir/archive/spambox

	real    8m25.487s
	user    0m40.080s
	sys     6m41.130s
