Well, I have to do this all the time. A headache, indeed, but also a
necessity. How else can I read those Chinese messages falsely identify
themselves as using iso-8859-1, instead of big5, for example?

Thanks to your new build, I could do that relatively easily with the
"Source" link (+ rebuild, of course). The problem with messages falsely
identified as spam, however, is that they don't even exist in Zoe's mail
database, so there's nothing I could remedy from within Zoe.

Would it be feasible (easy to implement) for Zoe to keep spam
temporarily, but doesn't show them, in the same way it deals with
deleted messages? So I can search for spam, and correct those false
positives by hand. Then true spam will be permanently removed along with
deleted messages when purged.

Just a thought. Once again, not a big deal for me personally. Since I
don't get many false positives, my current solution works, albeit
cumbersome.

BTW, did you received my previous private messages, sent on 11/11 and 12,
reporting a couple of minor bugs asking a question? The bugs are of low
priority for me (there are more to come, though, if you're interested),
but I'd really love to know how exactly ZOE determines that I'm from
Milton, a place whose whereabouts is beyond me, and if there's anyway I
can correct this.
