I do NOT forward the email. I copy it to a spam folder. As it happens
that spam folder is am IMAP folder which is in mbox format. So it's
moderately easy to train on that mbox format with a little effort.
Outlook will EXPORT the spam folder in mbox format, I understand. That
is what you'd want to do rather than try to forward the email. It should
preserve as much of the header as Outlook has available.

The leakage is one reason I will not touch Outlook itself. OE with a
very modest amount of user discipline has been 100% safe here. Outlook
has traditionally had behaviors that make even receiving a bad email
dangerous whether or not you read it. So...
