[Spambayes] Priming SpamBayes

Is it possible to prime, or bias, SpamBayes such that it attaches a
greater weight to some tokens than to others? Case in point is the
following: my university places SpamAssassin headers in all incoming
mail which, most of the time, are pretty good indicators of whether
something is spam. I would like spambayes to pay a lot of attention to
that and use the other tokens as "fine-tuning".

Is this possible?

I've attached a false negative that, had spambayes payed more attention
to the SpamAssassin headers, would surely have been classified as spam.

Regards,

Niek
