I don't think you have to do anything special, a text file is just like
a text email with no headers, so just follow the instuctions  for
dealing with files in maildir. 

The only issue is whether it's the best tool for the job. Like most
statistical spam filters Bogofilter just looks at whether tokens are
present, not how often they occur within the document. I think some
other kinds of textual comparison do use this information.
