Don't ascribe magical powers to senders of junk.  What is the procmail 
recipe that you think should be picking up that header?  Why isn't it 
working?  Show it to us, together with a copy of the header as procmail 
sees it.

Ironically, you message was filtered as spam by one of my old recipes - 
too high a proportion of ampersands in the message body.  Spam Assassin 
did far better and gave your message a negative score.
