Hi Chris,

Bogofilter's parser can recognize multiple messages in one file when
the file is in mbox format.  This format is described in
http://www.qmail.org/man/man5/mbox.html

Bogolexer automatically checks for mbox format and do the right thing.

As bogofilter's normal mode is "score 1 email", it assumes that the
input is a single email.  The "-M" option puts in in mbox mode so it
will recognize multiple messages.  

During registration bogofilter automatically checks for mbox format.

See http://www.qmail.org/man/man5/mbox.html for more detail on the mbox
format.

Regards,

David
