Since the reports will mainly only appear in spam, then the tokens unique to the reports will appear to be spammy. Since typically those spammy tokens won't appear in regualar e-mails (except for spam-related lists), then probably all that will happen is that the spammy tokens will tend to push out other tokens that appeared in the base-level messages. I asked a related question on the Mimedefang list: How to change the spam attachment reporting format so that it agrees with Spamassassin's format?
