It should be possible...

Agreed.  What that means is that systems should be used which can
"forward as an attachment", so the original message, without any sort of
modification, is forwarded as an unmodified attachment to a primary "this
is spam coming your way" message. The recipient robot then needs to
a) Verify this is indeed the situation,
b) If the email it finds doesn't have a complete attached email, toss it
away.
c) If the email it finds does have a complete attached email, then throw
away the shell/envelope and process the attachment only, passing it into
Bayes.

Sounds feasible to me, though beyond my capabilities at this point in
time.
