It's not in the copy I got.  All I see is the SpamAssassin report from our 
server, which does not deliver the X-Spam-Report header.  I'm guessing your 
ISP is "helping" you by providing this as a service.

Of course, if you're using PMMail, why do you care?  The headers are all 
hidden by default.
