Okay,

1) Message is not spam.
SpamCheck header only appears if "Always Include SpamAssassin Report =
yes". Header starts with "not spam".
SpamScore header appears unless message is whitelisted.

2) Message is spam.
SpamCheck headers appears, and starts with "spam".
SpamScore header appears.

The only drawback of that is a change in the use of "Always Include
SpamAssassin Report", it now really means "Always Include Spam Report".
