I don't know CRM114 well, but I would suggest requesting this feature
from the developers instead of trying to fix it at the MUA.  If CRM114
supports a command-line switch to exclude headers from analysis, I'll
gladly add that to a CRM114 spam.el backend if such a thing should
materialize.

(by the way: I have not needed any new spam.el backends, but if anyone
needs DSpam or CRM114 or whatever else added, let me know)

The problem is that we can't modify the article, so we have to make a
temporary copy and rewrite that, which can be expensive depending on
the article size.  It would really be much cleaner if CRM114 could be
told to ignore certain headers.

I would appreciate it if you looked at spam.el, which recently got
CRM114 support, and told us if anything could be improved there.  I
used Adam Sjogren's code, but yours may be better in some places (I
don't know that, I'm just suggesting the code review).
