Description
Adding a tag to the MIME header of an email is a non-intrusive way of adding an attribute (such as a spam status) to an email.
Many email clients allow filtering emails by MIME header content, so it is a very convenient way for sorting detected spam email into a separate folder.
Note.
Some popular email clients (MS Outlook and Outlook Express) do not support filtering email by MIME headers.
