Having now used the source, it would appear that the answer is no, so
following Marc's suggestion, I now have the following in my local.cf:

clear_report_template
report _YESNO_, score=_SCORE_ required=_REQD_ autolearn=_AUTOLEARN_
version=_VERSION_
report tests=_TESTSSCORES_

which is similar to what would appear in X-Spam-Status if we used
spamassassin/spamc as a filter, and didn't just ask it for the score and
report. Actually it's in a slightly different order (the tests are last
and on a second line) and additionally contains individual test scores
(which I find useful to help with tweaking rule weights).

I (eventually) found the documentation of what you can put in for
substitution in the report in `perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf` (also
often available via `man Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf`) under the heading
TEMPLATE TAGS.

Cheers,

John.
