Let me elaborate here.
Realizing the error of mbox files, I've set up this alias:
alias markAsSpam='cat ~/Mail/.Current.directory/Spam | formail -s spamassassin 
--report'
(please do not mind the line break ;-)

The question deep in my heart is still. Does this report anything, or simply 
fail silently?

You see my previous attempt (with the mbox file) completed exactly as the 
above.

What I'm asking for is a --progress switch or similar, which will make it tell 
me something like:
reported mail from bla@blabla.com as spam.

Or alternatively a --amIgood switch to the admin tool, which can tell me how 
much I've committed.

Well the above was a desperate attempt of making it give me any error, I'm 
sure my .emacs file was not parsable for it at all, still no complaint about 
user input was given to me.
I mean, the least thing must be that I give it an error, or?

D'oh error 240 ;-)
