Originally set up spamassassin and had it learn from my mailboxes in
Kmail.  worked fine. I set up a special spam mailbox with a sub-mailbox
named MissedSpam in which I placed spam that was slipping through. Now
I want sa-learn to check on that mailbox and learn from it.
What I do is, cd into: '/home/bob/Mail' and then do a: "# sa-learn
--spam --mbox -f /spam/MissedSpam"
Is this special mailbox a mbox format or is it maildir format?
I think KDE defaults to maildir, in which case you have to 
have a sa-learn script that supports that format, such as this one

#!/usr/bin/perl
