That's correct, but if you look at a spamassassin -D output you see that the 
header information usually plays a marginal role. From a typical message you 
may have 1 - 3 matches in the headers but about 10 or more in the body (no 
matter if spam or ham tokens). So, the next statement isn't correct in my 
opinion:

However, you are definitely watering down the results if you don't have the 
original headers. Also, some Received lines will always be the same whether 
it's spam or ham, because it all goes thru the same mail server(s). 
Therefore I would like to see an option to tell SA/sa-learn just to use 
tokens from the body and leave the header alone. There are nice header tests 
already. Just using the body would ease it manyfold for normal mailbox users 
to submit spam/ham for learning.
