I've used a little Perl script to feed it with a "ham" mbox file and then a 
"spam" one (I've been collecting messages for months to experiment on them 
8-). This way I've got some initial tuning on my own mail stream.
I can send you the script off-list if you like, it's not to be used as an 
example of good Perl ;-) but works ok.

I've been talking about this with a friend of mine, the idea would be to have 
a single keystroke/button that adds a new (personalized) header to the 
message and sends it back to the server. The rules on the server would see 
the header and understand the message is a false positive/negative that needs 
correction (and not a new one).
