Guys:
If sa-learn is fed a message (or mailbox of messages) having an RFC-822
attachment, does it automatically extract the attachment and learn from that?
Or does it learn from the whole message, always?
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/LearningMarkedUpMessages suggests the
former, but it's a bit vague as to whether that occurs *always*, or only if
the attachment was put there by SA.
Background: if users forward misclassified messages as RFC_822 attachments to
a central mailbox, and sa-learn is trained from that mailbox, does it learn
the local headers or does it extract the attachment? The attachment was not
put there by SA in this situation.
Quick review of the code suggests that this is only done in instances
where SA wrapped the original message as an attachment. The structure of
the code looks like it would be pretty simple to add a case where this
unwrapping would be done if a command-line parameter was provided, but the
unwrapping is in SpamAssassin.pm so it would affect *everything*.
Submitting a feature request so this can be debated and tracked.
