Something that I've thought about doing in an IMAP setting, is to
set up two folders: spam, not_spam that are processed periodically
by a program that reads those folders and makes the necessary
sa-learn calls, etc, and then resets the folder (remember to leave
a single null, "do not delete" message or most IMAP clients will
no longer see the folder.  Then, user's can simply drag a message
from their inbox into the spam folder, or they can drag the message
from the spam folder into the not_spam folder. The problem here is
that "drag" equates to "move" and not "copy", and generally the user
will want to drag the spam message both into "not_spam" (false positives)
and into his/her inbox. More/less - because SA actually encodes the false
positive mesage as an attachment, so it is the attachment that will be
dragged back into the Inbox.
