Learning from forwarded messages

[Hans du Plooy <ha...@newingtoncs.co.za>]

Hello all,

I stuck with the problem that incorrectly tagged mail to a dedicated "spam" 
and "non-spam" mailbox, now comes from the user, seeing as outlook strips out 
pretty much every useful header.   I went through the archives and came upon 
a script (included below) posted by Ryan Moore.   Ryan, care to explain how 
you use it?  I tried running the script with the spam mail as input, but it 
doesn't seem to do anything.

Has anybody found an elegant solution for this problem?  The clients are 
outlook, and I've seen many a outlook break badly if you try to ad an imap 
account to it, so I'm not keen on trying that (even though imap is the best 
solution - proven in our office where we use kmail/evolution).

Thanks
