I've just heard that apparently DSpam does something similar to this -- it dumps
the list of tokens to the SQL database for every message, adds a signature
header to the filtered mails, and relearning is then just a matter of extracting
the signature from the (possibly mangled) message and extracting the token list
from the db that matches that sig.

This may be useful functionality, since it cleans up one aspect that's quite
tricky in many environments -- it's no longer necessary for the user to know how
to safely transmit the message they want to learn, in an unmunged format. the
message can be thoroughly munged, as long as the Signature header is intact (or
just relatively intact).   That's possibly the nastiest UI issue with the whole
Bayes training thing.

anyone think this sounds useful?  (reopening just so the idea is tracked.)
