Thanks, that's it! Finally, I was able to create this script 
which happily collects messages for training from live folders 
(and yes, it is probably the wildest bash script I created so far 
:-):

   #!/bin/sh
   # $Id: bogocorpus,v 1.2 2004/01/27 19:52:03 matej Exp matej $

   find $HOME/Maildir/ $HOME/.mail/ -type f -name 10\* \
       \! -iregex $HOME/.\*/_junk.\* \
       \! -name \*T \
       -exec echo '{}' \; \
       -exec sh -c "formail -I X-Bogosity: -I X-KMail \
         -ds < {} >> $HOME/ham" \;

   find $HOME/.mail/_junk -type f -name 10\* \
       -exec echo '{}' \; \
       -exec sh -c "formail -I X-Bogosity: -I X-KMail \
         -ds < {} >> $HOME/spam" \;

However, when trying to apply same tricks to the other script 
(for retraining bogofilter on errors -- this is actually the 
script which I use every day). When trying this testing script, 
I am still not able to pull it off:

   #!/bin/bash

   MAILDIR=$HOME/.mail

   find $MAILDIR/_junk/ -type f -name 10\* \
       -exec sh -c "export STR=`basename '{}'`" \; \
       -exec echo $STR \; 

The script prints only 143 empty lines. What am I doing 
incorrectly?

Thanks a lot,

   Matej

This is a test of the emergency signature system. Were this an
actual signature, you would see amusing mottos, disclaimers,
a zillion net addresses, or edifying philosophical statements.
This is only test.
