The attachment includes the full MailScanner header:
X-MailScanner-SpamCheck:  spam, SpamAssassin (score=6.585, required 5,
AWL 0.18, DATE_IN_FUTURE_96_XX 2.37, FORGED_MUA_OIMO 2.70,
LINES_OF_YELLING 0.01, MSGID_FROM_MTA_HEADER 0.76,      SUBJ_ALL_CAPS
0.57)

and is included regardless of whether a message is spam or not.

The SA header I get without MailScanner at home has things like
HTML_30_40 BODY: Message is 30% to 40% HTML 0.8
rather than
HTML_30_40 0.8

with a similar line for each SpamAssassin score in the body of the
message reporting the Spam.
