Hi John,

You've noticed a minor inconsistency in bogofilter.  Early on, it just
knew about mailboxes (*.mbx files) and individual messages.  It could
register ('-s' and '-n') mailboxes and score individual messages.  '-M'
was added to tell it to score multiple messages in a mailbox.

Stated differently, '-M' is optional when registering multiple messages
(from mailboxes) and is necessary when scoring multiple mailboxes.

HTH,

David
