Yes. This is enabled by default, which may annoy some users just
because it is different. But leaving this enabled will help
prevent the embedded web bugs from alerting the spammers that the
message was read.

man Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf

       report_safe { 0 | 1 | 2 }     (default: 1)

           if this option is set to 1, if an incoming message
           is tagged as spam, instead of modifying the original
           message, SpamAssassin will create a new report message
           and attach the original message as a message/rfc822
           MIME part (ensuring the original message is completely
           preserved, not easily opened, and easier to recover).
