In emacs rmail, how do emacs rmail users use the spamassassin headers
for reading messages?...

I'm not sure what you want to do.  At that point, it's too late to do
anything with the headers.  Bear in mind I am not familiar with all of
rmail's features since I use (1) mutt, (2) Balsa, and (3) VM in Emacs,
in that order of frequency.

I have procmail sort the mail thusly:

------------- 8< snipped from my ~/.procmailrc ------------
# Don't let SA filter this traffic as it could poison the Bayes filter.

* ^List-Id: \"SpamAssassin Users\" <users@spamassassin\.apache\.org>

# Any spam with 9 or more * will be summarily punted.
:0 H
* ^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
/dev/null

# For testing the above
# $HOME/Mail/reallyspam

:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
$HOME/Mail/caughtspam
------------- 8< snipped from my ~/.procmailrc ------------

With sufficient Bayes training, I get precious little spam in my
mailbox.  Once or twice a day, I check the "caughtspam" box for false
positives (again, precious few) and punt the rest.
