still relevant, because (surprisingly) I don't see it discussed or
documented.]

In recent versions of mutt, there is a "spam detection" feature that can
be used for this.  My mutt configuration for it is

    spam "^X-Bogosity:.*spamicity=([^[:space:]]+)" %1

You may need to get mutt from CVS for this to work.  The Debian package
version in which this feature appeared is labeled 1.5.6-20040722+1.
