sa-learn removes SpamAssassin markup?

The manpage for sa-learn says:
Messages learnt as spam will have SpamAssassin markup removed, on the fly.

Is this true for the new mime-attachments style, too?

I am wondering because the manpage for spamassassin says:
-d, --remove-markup Remove spam reports from a message
but it only removes the headerlines. So if sa-learn is using the same
method for removal I'd be training my Bayes filter with the report message
of spamassassin instead of only the original message which is in the
attachment, right?

Thanks,
Andy.

Yes.

On my system, "-d" does remove all the markup, including converting
the attachment back to be the main body of the mail. Which version of
SA are you running?

2.63 and I can't reproduce it anymore. Strange!
Well, at least it's working now. :-)

Thanks for your answer,
Andy.
