You could collect the mail to a temporary folder/file, sa-learn against it and
then delete it. I think it has already been established that machine
processing is not an invasion of any privacy laws. No human looks at it, no
one is compromised.
That is until computers get smart enough to start blackmailing people. "Buy me
a new hard drive or I'll show your boss the e-mails you sent to his wife!"
