At least that part shouldn't matter much.  The spamprob guesses are based on
the percentages of spam and ham in which a word appears.  If a particular
header clue about you appears in 100% of the forwarded spam, and 100% of the
forwarded ham, it will get spamprob 0.5 regardless of the absolute numbers
involved.  This is, it will be 100% neutral.  This can still distort scores,
but I expect in a very minor way, and via pulling them toward Unsure rather
toward either side.
