Since you're using K-Mail Anne why not just click the View button and click 
All Headers? Everything is there, just scroll a bit down a 'newbie' message 
and you'll see it.

On the other hand the original poster was sending from (gack!) Hot Mail so I 
don't know if that's an option there. Yahoo does.

 Spamassassin thought so much of it that it routed the orig post to my
 Spam_Box.

If you are really interested in it, my Spamassassin configuration said
this:

[...]
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.43 (1.115.2.20-2002-10-15-exp)
X-Spam-Report: Detailed Report
  SPAM:  Start SpamAssassin results --
  SPAM: This mail is probably spam.  The original message has been altered
  SPAM: so you can recognise or block similar unwanted mail in future.
  SPAM: See http://spamassassin.org/tag/ for more details.
  SPAM: 
  SPAM: Content analysis details:   (5.40 hits, 5 required)
  SPAM: X_LOOP (-0.2 points) Found a X-Loop header
  SPAM: NO_REAL_NAME   (1.3 points)  From: does not include a real name
  SPAM: HTML_70_90 (0.9 points)  BODY: Message is 70-90% HTML tags
  SPAM: SPAM_PHRASE_02_03  (0.8 points)  BODY: Spam phrases score is 02 to 03 (medium)
  SPAM:[score: 2]
  SPAM: HTML_FONT_FACE_ODD (0.3 points)  BODY: HTML font face is not a commonly used 
face
  SPAM: LINES_OF_YELLING_2 (0.2 points)  BODY: 2 WHOLE LINES OF YELLING DETECTED
  SPAM: LINES_OF_YELLING   (0.2 points)  BODY: A WHOLE LINE OF YELLING DETECTED
  SPAM: FORGED_HOTMAIL_RCVD (0.5 points)  Forged hotmail.com 'Received:' header found
  SPAM: UPPERCASE_75_100   (1.4 points)  message body is 75-100% uppercase
  SPAM: 
  SPAM:  End of SpamAssassin results -

So it mainly got rated negatively for

- not using a real name (1.3 points),
- using an excessive amount of HTML (0.9 points; 151 lines HTML vs. 12
  lines text, resp. 4400 vs. 430 bytes) and
- all SHOUTING (1.8 points = 1.4+0.2+0.2)

The things he could not do much about are

- alleged spam phrases (0.9 points) and
- stripped received headers by mailing list (0.5 points)
  [Hmmm. Thought I had already disabled this]

Had he either not used Microsoft Office(!) for writing the mail,
disabled his CAPSLOCK or simply configured his mailer correctly, the
mail had not reached the level (5.0) for being considered unwanted
mail.

Considering the displayed ignorance resp. lack of common courtesy, I
must admit, I am fine with Spamassassin's rating.

Either way, if you want to be sure to not miss any real mail, you
can simply increase the threshold a bit (7 should be fine, 10 is for
the paranoids).

Regards,

Benjamin.

I knew why it was being classed as spam.
I was just using it as a response to to show that spamassassin opinion
of hotmail corresponds to my own.

BTW the feelings are the same for yahoo mail accounts as well.
