Bingo! I think you might have pointed me in the right direction. There is
an identifiable difference between a legitimate mail with the "mailix" id
(eg from my wife's laptop using Eudora and their smtp server) and spam
with a "mailix" id. And this seems to be a received header in the legit.
mail with smtp.mailix.net that doesn't appear in the spam.
