Yes, sa-learn does tokenize headers. Especially Received: headers.

Your best bet is to set up a system where you forward messages as
attachments, and then set up a script to yank off the attachments and feed
those to sa-learn.

However, this is dependant on your mail client having a working
forward-as-attachment feature. I'm not sure if outlook does.
