As an additional detail, when you email the message it gets additional 
header info, i.e. additional tokens.  That will change the spamicity value.

As a test, you _could_ try scoring the body of the message, rather than the 
whole message.  I think it's the 'b' flag you'll need for procmail.  The 
man page will give the details.

Alternatively, take the _delivered_ message and evaluate it with bogofilter.
