Whitelisting not working for forwarded messages

I have 87 filters set up in my Runbox account. I have a folder called "Inbox_Not_Whitelist" and there is a solitary filter moving messages there. It is the last filter, and it says:

If HEADER "does not contain" "USER_IN_WHITELIST" "saved to folder" "Inbox_Not_Whitelist".

Each time a desired message shows up in that folder I add the sender to my whitelist, and henceforth it will go into my Inbox (filter #86 moves anything WITH "USER_IN_WHITELIST" to my Inbox).

My wife, also a Runbox user, has a filter which forwards a specific message to my runbox account each morning. I added the sender of that message to my whitelist, but it's not getting the whitelist tag, and it keeps showing up in my Inbox_Not_Whitelist folder.

As you can see from the copied headers below, it IS getting Spam Assassin scanning (It has the "X-Spam-Status:" header. Interestingly, it also is identified by DSPAM as whitelisted, but since my filter searches on the SA tag for whitelisting, the filter moves it to the Non-Whitelist folder.

I know I could change the filter to search for either SA or DSPAM header, but I'd also like to find out if there's a glitch here preventing the proper Whitelist tag from being applied. Does it have to do with the message being forwarded from another RB user? I don't get it . . .

A few notes, first this is a very small text message, so it's not an issue of large messages not being scanned. Also, I did confirm that the name is entered properly on my whitelist, and third other messages coming into my Inbox from other senders do carry the appropriate Whitelisted header.

So, any ideas?
