My intention was to manually feed the few spam messages that slip thru

I was thinking, if I save the mail as EML files, would that preserve the
headers in a way that sa-learn can parse correctly?
Depends on the client.
For instance, Thunderbird stores it's folders in mbox format, so
sa-learn can work against those files as-is. Other email clients can
save emails in text format complete with headers.
The biggest problem with this is training the users to do that consistantly.
Isn't that what "cron" is for? :-)
I have a cron job on my imap server to regularly feed ham and spam
through sa-learn.
I have a cron job that runs the learning process nightly. I was
refering to the process of gathering the false-negatives and
false-positives. That has to be done by hand, as a decision needs to be
made about whether they are spam or not. And, by definition, the
automatic process has got it wrong.
