... except that if you read that mail, you see I was referring to the
command "spamassassin -d", not sa-learn.

However, sa-learn knows what SA's markup looks like, and will remove
it when learning, so this is not a problem.

See http://wiki.spamassassin.org/w/BayesInSpamAssassin :

     It's OK to feed emails with Spamassassin markup into the sa-learn
   command -- sa-learn will ignore any standard Spamassassin headers, and
   if the original email has been encapsulated into an attachment it will
   decapsulate the email. In other words sa-learn will undo any changes
   which Spamassassin has done before learning the spam/ham character of
   the email.
