Elijah,

As Todd says, adding a header line is unobtrusive.  Bogofilter's 
passthrough option ('-p') adds the X-Bogosity: line at the end of the 
messsage header.  I don't think another line with a URL for 
reclassification would bother people.  I suspect _every_ message would get 
the URL line since you'd want to correct false positives _and_ false negatives.
