Assuming you have a single test email in a file 'bad.txt' as simple text,
all you need to do from a Eunix command line is

        spamassassin -t <bad.txt

The output will come out on the console output with the summary at the
bottom.  You can usually manage to scroll through it with any modern command
line console.  If not modern, redirect the output to another file and look
at that in a text editor or with more/less or some such:

        spamassassin -t <bad.txt >results.txt

How you go about extracting the single test message from the mail stream I'm
not sure.
