   Ouch.

   Can you export the message to a file, then run spamassassin from the
command line?  I do this all the time.  I just save the message to the
directory where my local SA config is located
(/usr/local/etc/mimedefang/spamassassin), change to the directory, then do
this:

	cp sa-mimedefang.cf aa
	(edit the aa file to include new spam checks)
	spamassassin -t -p aa < exported-message | more
        (then when I am satisfied it works like I want it)
	cp aa sa-mimedefang.cf
	mimedefang-ctrl reread
