For nonprogrammers maybe dyslexic, maybe ADD, how can spamassassin headers be filtered so that all or most of the spam messages, rather than mixed in with email, all or most go to a separate email file that can be checked for any false positives?

For nonprogrammers maybe dyslexic, or maybe ADD, how can spamassassin
headers be filtered so that all or most of the spam messages, rather
than mixed in with email, all or most go to a separate email file that
can be checked for any false positives?... RMAIL in EMACS
and from time to time mutt are used for email

Single session
a. How can this kind of filtering be done
   during a single RMAIL in EMACS session?...

Existing commands
b. What emacs commands are already available
   for this kind of filtering?...

This list is about Emacs and I don't know mutt.

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.

PS: when asking such questions it is a good idea to show what you
tried and what was the problem.  Otherwise people might think you 
didn't even try (which I don't think.)
