I think that might be *way* too enticing for spammers.  The solution is
to just exempt SAtalk and other spam-related mailing lists from spam
filtering.  Anyway, the spam that Bob forwarded was going to be marked
as spam no matter how you handled the SA headers!  He said it was
assigned a score of 42.5 when he originally received it.  42.5.

There's a report in SA bugzilla regarding the problem of rule names and
descriptions triggering on themselves.  We should fix the few rules
affected by this problem and add some checks to the regression testing
done during "make test".
