Using your method, N+l lines are logged for a mailbox with N messages. 
In the minimal case (when '-M' is used for a single message), we have
one email generating two log messages.  This way, "cat mbox | bogofilter
-luM" is comparable to "cat mbox | formail -e bogofilter -lu".  Let's
leave it as it is now.
