Displaying values of hit rules in header?

[Rose, Bobby]

What would be the benefit of this other than info to look?  Features
should be such that performs a function.  I can't see a user writing a
filter rule that says check the header for CLICK_BELOW (1.531), and
delete.  If people want the scores then go to the SA page and look at
the tests and their scores instead of adding the extra overhead per each
message?  

With all the Spam message rewrite requests, Mailscanner is going to be
doing spamd's job.

It can't easily be done at the moment. Sorry.
