Use a MUA like mutt which will allow you to save the message individually

mutt -f /var/mail/spam

#There is a message for mallet@??? and it betters passes, so
save it to a name using 's', then

formail -s sendmail mallet@??? < some_file_name

#If it was just one mail in there,


formail -s sendmail mallet@??? < /var/mail/spam
