The plug-in doesn't, no.  If you receive you mail via POP3/IMAP, then you
could use sb_server/sb_imapfilter, which do add headers.  However I don't
know how well using them *with* the Outlook plug-in would work (in theory
you could use them to just add the headers and still use the Outlook plug-in
for all the actual classification (they could share the database so that the
headers could match), but I don't know anyone that has actually tried this.
You could use sb_server/sb_imapfilter *instead* of the Outlook plug-in, but
you lose the nice integration with Outlook.
