is this just me? SPF cannot find Envelope-From?

Hope this isn't considered OT.  Not sure if the problem is MS, SA, or
(more likely) me.
 
No matter what I set the envelope_sender_header to in
spam.assassin.prefs.conf, SA claims it "cannot get Envelope-From, cannot
use SPF".
 
Is my test method is bad?  I take a known spam message that has been
quarantined on another system, add an X-MailScanner-From header with my
own address (for which SPF records are defined), and pass it into
spamassassin -D --lint.
 
The SA lint output does show that spam.assassin.prefs.conf is being
loaded, after local.cf.  The server listed in the Received headers is
not one of mine.  Here's the test message headers that I've been using:
 
------Begin-test-message-headers------
Return-Path: <g>
Received: from 61.53.153.90 (hn.kd.dhcp [61.53.153.90] (may be forged))

There are three similar headers there only because I was trying to find
a header format that would make the "cannot get Envelope-From" error go
away.
