Rodney,

All the capital letters in the 0.93.x announcements were there to prompt
you to RTFM.  Perhaps, we should have started with several lines saying
"RTFM RTFM RTFM ..."?

Bogofilter knows about individual message files, mailbox formatted
files, and several kinds of mail directories, but doesn't know about
recursion.  So, it can't do what you want, without a bit of help.

'-B' indicates names (file and/or directory) will be on the command line
'-b' indicates stdin as the source

Assuming you want just yearly directories, i.e. 200?$, something like
the following should do what you want:

  find ~/Mail -type d | grep "200?$" | bogofilter -v -b

HTH,

David
