The Exception header is added when SpamBayes can't parse the message because
it's malformed.  Future releases will be able to handle these better.

Where did you get the text that you pasted into the box?  If it was missing
the headers, then that would explain it (because the headers is where the
malformation is).  Or if you got it from your mailer, then possibly the
mailer corrected the message when it arrived (some mailers do this).  If you
used the raw text that arrived, then that would also have failed (less
gracefully, probably).
