spam score for each test in header

[Julian Field]

Very good idea. No sooner said than done :-)

X-MailScanner-SpamCheck: spam, SpamAssassin (score=7.8, required 5,
         DATE_IN_PAST_12_24 0.21, DRASTIC_REDUCED 1.54, HOME_EMPLOYMENT 1.50,
         INVALID_DATE 0.57, INVALID_MSGID 0.38, NO_REAL_NAME 0.73,
         ONCE_IN_LIFETIME 0.74, REMOVE_SUBJ 0.81, UNDISC_RECIPS 1.44)

Does that look okay to you?
I would like to keep the original sort order (alphabetical) to make the
code simpler.

I'll release something later this evening if you like. It will make it to
the stable release at the start of June.
