Modifying messages inside Gnus (with shell command)

Modifying messages inside Gnus (with shell command)

[Jorge Godoy]

Hi,


I use SpamAssassin and it adds some marks such as a *****SPAM*****
notice in the subject, modifying MIME attachments, etc. 

Sometimes I get false positives with it and I want to move the message
to its correct folder instead of the spam folder. But, I also wanted
to recover the message removing all these modifications inserted by
spamassassin. I can do that with a shell command ("spamassassin -d")
but I think that Gnus specific files won't be updated (such as
.overview and .marks). 

Is there any way for me to run a shell command in a message and have
Gnus recognizing the message correctly?



Thanks in advance,

No.

Perhaps a command like gnus-summary-pipe-message-and-copy could be
useful?  It would pipe an article through a command and copy the
resulting message into some group.  *-move could be added to, of
course.

OTOH, I find disabling SpamAssassin body/subject/content-type
modifications is much easier to work with.  My SpamAssassin only adds
X-Spam* headers to messages.  Then I can move the message using normal
commands and there is no need to pipe it through spamassassin -d.

Such a command would be *very* useful.

Specially because one could do lots of other things with a message.

It's easier, but then you'd loose some facilities/features such as
mangling of dangerous message bodies.
