if ham and spam are directories containing mboxes, you might be better off with this:
$WORKINGDIR/mass-check --progress --all --showdots \ ham:mbox:/var/home/c/h/chris/spamcorpus/custom/ham/* \ spam:mbox:/var/home/c/h/chris/spamcorpus/custom/spam/* I usually use ham:detect:/path/to/dir and then call mbox files "foo.mbox". --j.
