Yes, unless we come up with some other way to batch input to
bogofilter for training.  I suggest allowing message files to be
specified on the command-line, perhaps enabled by some option (call it
'-b' for batch for this example).  Then we could do:

	cd Maildir/spam/
	find cur new -type f | xargs bogofilter -s -b

This example assumes individual Maildir files for each message.

However, I've found that accessing huge Maildir directories -- such as
would be created in spam & ham archives -- gets to be quite slow,
perhaps because of ext2 overhead in dealing with such large directories.
