How can I review how SpamAssassin scores a message? Can't Post

To review how SpamAssassin scores a message, you must review the message's header content as follows:

1. In Outlook Express, highlight the message in your inbox.
2. Select File/Properties.
3. Click on the Details Tab.
4. In the message header content, if SpamAssassin is enabled for your account you should see something like:

X-Spam-Flag: YES
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.0.0 (2004-09-13) on
greatmail3.nmsrv.com
X-Spam-Level: *************
X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=13.7 required=4.0 tests=BAYES_99,FORWARD_LOOKING,
