Run:  perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf

and look for "report_safe". You should see:

 report_safe ( 0 | 1 | 2 )     (default: 1)
     if this option is set to 1, if an incoming message is tagged as
     spam, instead of modifying the original message, SpamAssassin will
     create a new report message and attach the original message as a
     message/rfc822 MIME part (ensuring the original message is com-
     pletely preserved, not easily opened, and easier to recover).

     If this option is set to 2, then original messages will be attached
     with a content type of text/plain instead of message/rfc822.  This
     setting may be required for safety reasons on certain broken mail
     clients that automatically load attachments without any action by
     the user.  This setting may also make it somewhat more difficult to
     extract or view the original message.

     If this option is set to 0, incoming spam is only modified by
     adding some "X-Spam-" headers and no changes will be made to the
     body.  In addition, a header named X-Spam-Report will be added to
     spam.  You can use the remove_header option to remove that header
     after setting report_safe to 0.

     See report_safe_copy_headers if you want to copy headers from the
     original mail into tagged messages.

..."field entry box"? Are you using some sort of GUI to configure SA?  
If so, and if the report_safe option is not exposed, you may be out of
luck, and will have to contact whoever wrote the GUI that stands
between you and the config files.

More details about your SA install, please, particularly whether
you're actually editing the config files or not.
