With viruses, we have the option of replacing the infected attachment
with a warning message.  Why not have a similar option with spam?


Have 2 new spam action settings

1) do like the newer versions of spam assassin where the entire original
   message is put in an attachment, and then in the main body put the
   verbose report of which rules were tripped, etc.

2) remove the entire original message and replace it with a message that
   still appears to be from that sender, but the body is a report of the
   original subject and score.


I'd preserve the original sender in the latter case so that if it's a
false positive, you can reply to the message directly (without jumping
through any hoops) and contact the sender about it.
