OK, this looks like a Good Idea. So I got hold of the adcomplain Perl
script from http://www.rdrop.com/users/billmc/adcomplain.html. I pipe a
spam message to it
	cat spam-file | perl adcomplain.pl
and if finds the originator, generates the complaint message and prompts
before sending. Excellent.

Good so far, but my spam is kept in mbox format (for teaching
Spamassassin and reporting to Razor). I can convert the mbox file into
maildir files with mb2md (from Testing). The files are in a subdirectory
called cur with names like these:
	1100447087.000000.mbox:2,S 
	1100447087.000001.mbox:2,S 
	1100447087.000002.mbox:2,S

I can do
	cat 1100447087.000000.mbox:2,S | perl adcomplain.pl
When finished with the first message I can up-arrow, change the final 0
to a 1 and repeat.

Is there a simple way to automate this with a bash script? I imagine
something looking in the subdirectory, piping the first file to
adcomplain.pl, then piping the next file when adcomplain.pl has
finished. And so un until all files in the subdirectory have been
processed.

Any ideas?

Chris.
