SpamAssassin does not alter the message. You must configure
something to alter the message and feed the altered message
back into your MTA.

Therefor the problem lies not with SpamAssassin but with
your configuration/scripts used to handle the markup.

All MTA's will interpret the first blank line as the
begining of the body. Any headers placed after that will be
considered body content until a line that has only a period
is found. That line marks the end of the data command.

If your script or utility is injecting headers then you may
have the problem described above.

I never get this problem.

I use spamd's markup option and then swap the resulting
message with the original and let Postfix delivered that
instead.
