You can do most (all?) of this with procmail and an unmodified spamc.
It was a lot easier with 2.43 than it is with 2.50, because of the MIME body rewriting that 2.50 attempts to perform. (One can't encapsulate the message as a MIME body part if you don't have the entire message to play with.) However, it's still possible.

Hey, thanks for that.... I'll have a study of your procmail recipe when I get a quiet moment.... It sure would be nice to have something like this in spamc itself eventually though, and probably a lot faster and more efficient.
