Training spam as ham and forwarding

[MySQL Student <my...@gmail.com>]

Hi SA users,

I have a few messages found in the quarantine that I need to train as
ham because they were marked as spam incorrectly. To do this, I added
the following to the top of the file so it becomes a normal email:

 From DUMMY-LINE Thu Jan  1 00:00:00 1970

Is this correct? (without the leading spaces)

I can now accurately access and index it using pine, whereas before it
didn't acknowledge it as a normal email. I'd also now like to forward
it to the intended recipient as an attachment, but the recipient isn't
able to read it as a normal email, but instead as plain text. How can
I accomplish this?

Are there mail tools, like procmail or formail, I believe, that were
designed to automate this?

Does anyone request ham from their users to be trained by bayes, or
is autolearning typically the only way (or only real effective way) to do this?

Also, on another note, how can I have all email destined for a
particular user sent to them, including spam? This is what all_spam_to
is for, correct?

Thanks,
Alex

This turns it into a *mailbox* in mbox format, which is one of
the formats that pine supports along with its preferred mbx format.

sa-learn would be happy with a raw email, but if you use the above, you
should use --mbox.
