sa-learn has a "--forget" option for when you make a mistake.  I don't know
if you need to remove all of SA's headers and other stuff but I DO know that
it won't give you an error message if you don't.  It is also smart enough to
ignore a message if you sa-learn it a second time.

As Jonathan said, procmail is the important part.  I use procmail to feed the
message to SA (as described in the SA README file) and then to do something
with the message.  On some machines I just mark the "Subject: " line and other
machines I save it in /var/spool/mail/spam/$LOGNAME.  What you do with it just
depends on how long you want to spend with the procmailrc man page.
