Since you can coax SA to tag e-mails that have unacceptable
languages and locales ... why not just run SA from MdF directly,
and then look at the result (the tags) returned by SA?
I don't know if the SA protocol will give you those tags directly,
but it wouldn't be difficult pulling them from the headers.

For example,

 X-Spam-Score: 11.565 (***********)
  CHARSET_FARAWAY_HEADER,FORGED_HOTMAIL_RCVD,FORGED_RCVD_HELO,SPF_HELO_SOFTF
AIL,
  SPF_SOFTFAIL,UNWANTED_LANGUAGE_BODY,URIBL_JP_SURBL
