Something Robert N. said on sa-dev,
  " ... basically reconstructing a message that I'm forwarding
myself in order to have it "unlearnt" ... "

led me to think that there might be an easy to use method for users to
tag mis-classified messages from within their (MIME-aware, html-capable)
mail client program:

1) save a copy of all inbound messages into a repository in their original
raw format.
2) at the end of each message add a tag line which is an html link to a
web based application which is passed the id of the message that was
saved in the repository.
3) the user can then check "spam" or "ham". Additionally, there might
be checkboxes to whitelist or blacklist the sender, and various other
per message administrative tasks that might apply.

The cost of course is yet another tag line hanging out
down there at the bottom of the e-mail message; the cost of maintaining
a repository, expiring old messages, and so on. There are also some security
and authentication issues that need to be worked out.

The advantage is that this is a relatively easy to use interface that is
somewhat mail client neutral and that encourages user feedback (mutt users
will need some other mechanism).
