"solve" means some solutions like "only add a header if no previous one
existes", which might work by either wrapping the add-statement in an
condition or (since I add several other spam-related headers anyway)
modifying one of the existing add-statement to use string-expansion to
create one or more header-lines, which would be an alternative solution
of preventing multiple headers.

The reason I mentioned the issue on this list: I don't consider the
documentation to be absolutely specific and the way I understood it my
question wasn't answered by the documentation. So I hoped for
clarification here regarding the actual and the intended behaviour.
Testing might have resulted in "it adds a second header", but then I
would have asked "did I miss something that might enable exim to
suppress the "add_header" if a header with the same name an the same
value already exists".
