Yes, you're wrong. The report is just a configurable string, and the
string you're seeing is the default report. The default report is only
intended to be attached to a message if it scores above the threshold.
If you wish to attach the report to all messages, then you should
reconfigure the report string to be more neutral in tone in your
spamassassin local.cf.

For example, my local.cf has:

> ### Set a terse report template, suitable for inclusion in msg headers
> clear_report_template
> report "_SCORE_, autolearn=_AUTOLEARN_"
> report "        _SUMMARY_"


and my exim.conf has:
