Actually, it's not that simple. Using <pipe-entry>, mutt may filter out
most of the mail's headers before piping to bogofilter. This depends on
the "weed" setting. bogofilter will supposedly work better if given the
entire mail to learn from, so you want to make sure mutt doesn't filter
anything:

macro index H "<enter-command>unset wait_key weed\n<pipe-entry>bogofilter -Sn\n<enter-command>\ set wait_key weed\n<save-message>!\n" "mark as non-spam and save to spool"

macro index S "<enter-command>unset wait_key weed\n<pipe-entry>bogofilter -Ns\n<enter-command>set wait_key weed\n<save-message>=spam\ny" "mark as spam and save to =spam"

These macros also temporarily disable wait_key so you don't have to
press enter after using them.
