I can find a lot to criticize about Outlook but I've not ever seen
Outlook remove header information - but I don't have any Exchange Server
installations which might be why.

In Gene's case, he's probably got Kmail fetching directly
from /var/spool/mail/gene without any pop3/imap server and thus not
getting any additional header information and then the Kmail filtering
is invoking spamassassin. I can't think of any reason not to do it that
way, unless of course, he is doing all this as root.
