Yet if you use this even messages that are not spam (due to whitelist)
but have a high SpamAssassin score are sorted out by the rule.
Unfortunately Outlook cannot create rules like "Move message if
X-MailScanner-Spamscore: sssss unless X-MailScanner-SpamCheck: not
spam"...

So? Again think of whitelists. If a message is in the whitelist I do not
care about the SpamScore from SpamAssassin. The whole point of the
whitelist is to overrule SpamAssassin.

That is quite correct and the first exampled showed just that. But if I
put something in the whitelist explicitely I do not what the message to
be moved by my Outlook rule due to a SpamScore of 10 or so. 

The headers are very informational telling me that the message is not
spam due to the whitelist but would have had a SpamAssassin score of 10.
This is nice and informational but impossible for Outlook to use for
rules. That is why I would love to see the simple extention to the
X-MailScanner-SpamCheck header. It should be very easy to implement a
(spam, not spam) message.
