I guess my intuition was right :-)

Exactly. I don't see how a sightings mailing list is practical unless
its processing is automated.

I suggest feeding it into a script that knows how to extract MIME
attached forwarded messages. Put the script in the CVS. Then people can
submit patches to teach it to recognize mail that is forwarded inline
with all headers and mail that is bounced, etc., which will allow it to
not waste submissions that are not in the "correct" format, but you
don't have to worry about that at first.

In any case, forward as attachment is the one way to do it that everyone
can use regardless of mail client, and the one way that is sure to
preserve all the information.

If your script adds the sightings to a corpus, you can run spamassassin
over it and look over the false negatives. Every time you do that you
will get a list of messages that are either not really spam, so you
should be set up to delete any message from the corpus with a single
click, or are false negatives.

Would that be automated enough for you to work with? Is it easy enough
to set up?
