There is a "X-Exchange-Message: true" header that gets added no matter
whether any Exchange headers are found or not.  One could add this header to
the [Tokenizer] safe_headers option, which would mean that a token would be
generated if it was present.  This would just involve adding a couple of
lines to the default_bayes_customize.ini file.  I suppose we could modify
the default one that gets installed to do this.

Generally, (at least in my experience), messages that are Exchange-only are
very homogeneous in content, so easily classified without any faked-up
headers.  It might help in the situation where there are empty messages,
though, I guess.

That makes sense.
