[Spambayes] training on cyrus style mailboxes

[Nick Rout]

well each file is rfc822, yes. each directory has a number of messages,
each with a unique incrementing name in the form

[digit][digit]....[digit].  eg 12345. (yes that full-stop is the last
character of the file name)

also in each dir there are the following files:

cyrus.cache
cyrus.header
cyrus.index

and a directory for each subfolder (and inbox is the root of all the
folders). 

So what parameters would I use to mboxtrain.py on a directory of
messages like that, without includding the cyrus.* and the
sub-directories?

sorry to be thick. heres a much shortened ls -Fl on my inbox
