They are the building blocks of the "Maildir" format. You can
alternatively store in "MH" format, where file names are all numbers in
a flat directory.

Finally, you can use bogofilter in "-b" or "-B" mode, the first reads
filenames from standard input (find DIR -type f -print | bogofilter -b
...), the second from the command line (bogofilter -B FILE1 FILE2
FILE3).

One of these should solve your problem.
