That's great news. Meanwhile, bogofilter works quite nicely for me as an
external filter (albeit being a little slow).

However, it would be quite nice to have a backmenu option to run a
specific named filter on selected emails. This would neatly solve the
problem of training bogofilter. You could select misclassied emails and
run a reclassify filter on them. Currently I have to copy the
misclassified emails to a specific teaching folder and run a script
manually to reclassify them.

I think the ability to run selected filters on selected emails would be
useful in other ways, too.
