Instead, why don't you just make the Junk button on the user's evolution
feed the spam to sa-learn (on the mail server even, if that's where the
spam detection is going on)?  Then everything works (from a UI POV)
exactly the way it was designed and users would expect.

I think the Evo developers should make hooking up something other than
"sa-learn" to the Junk button much easier, but short of that, do what I
did and write a script that runs on the same machine(s) as evolution
runs machine, call it sa-learn and make sure it's in the PATH before any
real sa-learn.

That script can do whatever you want with the "to be learned" spam then.
Personally, I use ssh to run it through sa-learn on the mail server from
which it came.  And since I have multiple IMAP accounts, a single
sa-learn script needs to handle multiple e-mail servers.  Although it's
just now occurred to me, why don't I run every spam I want to "Junk"
through sa-learn on all of the servers I have a mail account on.  Hrm.
