So, the bayes clasifier will ignore "Some-header" in both learning and spam
detection phases. Did I understand it correctly?

Maybe I am mistaken, but what is the sense to train the bayes classifier on
headers if headers (at least those that precede a subject header) are not
considered during the spam detection phase?
Thank you.
