Hello Andreas!

Well yes, for spam. But if you mark as unsure or falsely as spam marked 
mails as ham headers also won't be changed unless I reapply all filters 
including the spamfilter check. And there are some mails I have no 
filters for which will have the incorrect headers then.

But I see your point that for slow spam filters this is not an option. So 
for know I just added a hint in the article to add such a filter rule at 
least for marked as ham if one likes correct headers in all cases.

After writing this article I think I have everything there to revise  and 
expand the antispam docs for KMail and possibly include a section about 
setting up CRM114 with KMail. Once thats well documented and understand 
it would be a nice idea to try to make a script for that... this needs 
more thought tough as for example SUSE doesn't even have a package for 
that. So the script would likely need to ask the user from where it 
should get the necessary files and ask him to download them from the 
crm114 website if not available as package.

Well off completing my article and checking online IMAP accounts. I think 
it should work there as well, but I guess it might need local folders for 
unsure and spam mails then. Especially for spams this IMHO makes sense as 
the user usually deletes all correctly as spam marked spams anyway.
