Description Marcin Kasperski 2002-03-25 22:48:58 UTC 
It would be nice if I could call some external
program giving it the current mail message as
input. Best if I could define it once and then
call from menu or via shortcut key.

For what? In my case I would like to call sth like
      cat <message-body> | spamassassin -r
to report the spam after manually verifying that
some message is really the spam.

By the way: apart from the 'general problem'
spamassassin integration is something one can
consider to be done explicite. And it can be
related  to the other direction (filtering on
input) too (in my case it is not the case, I call
spamassasin to filter the spam 'earlier').

This works since a long while. Filters have a "pipe to program" option
Comment 2 Marcin Kasperski 2004-02-11 23:41:18 UTC 
I think either you misunderstand me or I misunderstand you.

AFAIK filters are tools which run AUTOMATICALLY on emails which
satisfy some criteria.

What I intended reporting this bug is an ability to easily start some
tool MANUALLY feeding the message source to it. The original sample
was to run 'spamassassin -r' to report message as human-verified spam,
more up to date example can mean some kind of teaching adaptive spam
filter.

Not sure if this is practical. But anyways leaving this for future
releases.
