Thank you! I'm grateful for the hints, tips and pointers.

          For storing Rmail message in a folder, look at
          `rmail-automatic-folder-directives'.
          C-h v rmail-automatic-folder-directives REG

          For using spam filters with Rmail, put this in your configuration:
          (require 'rmail-spam-filter)
          (setq rmail-use-spam-filter t)
          Then you need to set `rsf-definitions-alist': 

          M-x customize-variable RET rsf-definitions-alist RET
          Edit it to deal with spamassassin headers.

Attempting this hasn't worked out yet. Regrettably,
while it looked like a good complete explanation for a person with
a certain expertise, it's problematical for a level of user merely
using more familiar emacs commands.

What existing emacs commands are already available, emphasis existing
and already available without having to set anything?... for filtering
all the email in RMAIL with spamassassin headers indicating spam to a
separate file that can be checked anytime for false positives?

Use fetchmail ==> procmail+spamassassin ==> RMAIL, gnus or what you want

fetchmail get the mails from your server and give the mails to procmail;

procmail use spamassassin to filter the mails and put the mails in your
mail-source directory.

RMAIL or gnus or anything else read the mails from mail-source directory.
