Thanks for the info. Meanwhile I use a working solution which had been a suggestion of SpamSieve's creator: it ads 2 or 3 lines of code to his PM "move if spam" AppleScript. This code will add 2 number symbols (##) at the beginning of a spam message. An added filter in PM below (the one calling for SpamSieve) searches in the IF statement for those 2 symbols and when present follow the setup rule(s). Works great. And just in case SpamSieve was in error, I could delete those 2 symbols easily and use the AS I have to modify a subject line of a received mail.
