Vista - Message Rule and SpamAssassin?

Message Rule and SpamAssassin?

My mail server runs SpamAssassin, and I'd like to sort my emails based on
those results. I've tried to add a message rule where when the message body
contains: "X-Spam-Flag: YES" the mail is moved to a special folder. This
rule doesn't seem to be working. I suspect it is because this is in the
mail header, and not the 'body'? Is there any way to write a rule that
looks at the mail headers?

Thanks,
Mark

I've been looking for such a way for some time, and there seem to be
only a few header lines that it will check in deciding what rules to
apply. I'd like a way to search all of the header, at least for newsgroup
messages, but there doesn't seem to be one available.

The only headers that the rules look at are From, To, CC,
and Subject.
