The subject is different but the content isn't.  So my question is does either of the two apps actually scan the content (body) of the e-mail or are they just looking at the header and subject line?

Spamassassin scans the headers + body.  MailScanner doesn't scan 
anything for spam.  It only checks for RBL if you ask it to.

You can't decide to treat a message as spam just because of one word...
