What is a word (lexertest)

What does it matter how many people are going to read those tags?  The
point is that the program can use the headers to determine spam.  For
instance, my bogofilter frequently rejects things because of things like
the Content-type: header indicates an asian language, or because of a
header that indicates that it came from particular bulk mailer programs.

I don't know why you want to throw away header information.  It's all
important, and the stuff that isn't very indicative (like the stuff added
by your mailer) gets a .5 rating anyway.
