sorry, i don't getthis.  ifile will respnd with "god" or "bad" (in
your example), but it won't put headers noting the outcome to each
message.  that depens on magical "update-header", of course.  this
program gets ifiles result on stdin, then how will it put an
appropriate header intot he message?  or maybe you meant:

     cd "$messagedir"
     for i in ???
     do
       ifile -c -q "$i" | update-header "$i"
     done

then update headers would know the name from the argument vector
and ifiles classification from stdin?
