Spamassassin does that on my ISP's server. Ron gathered 11 points and alas, 10 is the highest I can set it. Here's the output:

 X-ZeelandNet-Scan-SpamCheck: spam, SpamAssassin (score=11.215, vereist 10,
	RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET 4.00, RCVD_IN_DSBL 1.10, RCVD_IN_SORBS 0.20,
	RCVD_IN_SORBS_WEB 2.80, RCVD_IN_XBL 3.11)

As you can see, the major reason(s) are braindead blacklists .... I've already complained to my ISP but they claim it's too difficult to change, duhhhhh. :-(
Ron sent the same question to mandriva expert a while back but wasn't black listed by spamcop yet and 'only' gathered 7 points.

A small victory was that the next day zeelandnet themselves were blacklisted for a few hours. :-)

Anyway I still haven't found a way to get sylpheed to remove that part of the header automatically when I do a quick reply ...... suggestions will be greatly appreciated. :-)

I try to remember to remove that specific part but more than often forget ......... but then, who's perfect.
As I see, you've taken to bottom-posting after all but haven't been able to get rid of the HTML in gmail.  ;-)
