Thanks! Yes, 'read' command is an Achilles heal of my bash skills 
:-). This is what I did and what seems to work fine:

   #!/bin/sh
   #$Id: bgf,v 1.2 2004/01/28 01:01:57 matej Exp matej $

   MAILDIR=$HOME/.mail

   find $MAILDIR/_spam/ -type f -name 10\* \
      | while read msg; do
         formail -I X-Bogosity -I X-KMail \
            -s bogofilter -vs < $msg
         STR=$(basename $msg) 
         mv $msg $MAILDIR/_junk/new/${STR%*:2,S}
      done

   find $MAILDIR/_ham/ -type f -name 10\* \
      | while read msg; do
         formail -I X-Bogosity -I X-KMail \
            -s bogofilter -vn < $msg
         STR=$(basename $msg) 
         mv $msg $MAILDIR/inbox/new/${STR%*:2,S}
      done

Thanks,
