Re-marking learned spam

[Kenneth Porter <sh...@sewingwitch.com>]

Is there a way to process an mbox folder to add the full report 
unconditionally to all the messages in it?

I've got an "Uncaught" IMAP folder that I drag all the day's missed spam to 
for a nightly sa-learn run. I'd like to be able to inspect the messages in 
the morning to see the full score report, but I don't want a full report 
for the large body of regular mail I receive, so I don't want to globally 
request a full report on every message. Moreover, just because a message is 
learned doesn't mean it will get marked as spam on the next pass, if the 
new tokens don't raise the score high enough.

So I'd like to add another command to my nightly script to process the 
Uncaught folder and add full reports to all the messages in it. (Mostly I 
want to see the scores and rule descriptions that don't show up in the 
summary header.)

I'd also be interested in hearing of any work to build automation to 
analyze uncaught spam for patterns that would help rescore the rule hits 
that seem to be most prevalent.

just a guess:
the sa-learn manpage offers the option
-p prefs, --prefspath=file, --prefs-file=file    Set user preferences file
if you have user prefs enabled, i assume you could specify an extra prefs file 
that adds full reports.

there also seem to be options to specify an entirely different config dir ...

Gurus, am i right?
