Interesting idea - I just ran the following against my spam folder -
well over 1000.

grep ^^To: *.msg |grep -i "dave saville"

And got no hits. So far so good.

However, I then ran it down my trash folder, which does *not* contain
any spam and got about 50 out of again roughly 1000 messages.

So assuming legit mail got filtered earlier, then that's still a
possible 50 false positives.
