Principle of least surprise. For example, I have my mutt display the
X-Spam-Headers, and it is misleading if I am presented with multiple
sets of headers. Additionally, in larger setups, spam header creation
will most probably happen on the MX front-end, while filtering will
happen on the storage back-end server.
