My question is, given that the messages have already been processed by

Not really answering your question, but I find its helpful to strip SA
headers out of the message collection I use for testing private rules.
Here's a simple bash shell script fragment that does the job and does it
fairly fast:

========================================================================
for f in data/*.txt
do
       echo "Cleaning $f"
       gawk '
               BEGIN           { act = "copy" }
               /^X-Spam/       { act = "skip" }
               /^[A-WYZ]/      { act = "copy" }
                               {
                                 if (act == "copy")
                                       { print }
                               }
       ' <$f >temp.txt
       mv temp.txt $f
done
========================================================================

...wouldn't that mangle wrapped X-Spam headers?
