I was wondering how to filter on headers other than Subject, Form, and
To.  Thanks.

However, I've found that filtering on contents really slows down
RMAIL.  Since X-Spam-Flag is really a header, is there any way to tell
rmail-spam-filter that, so it doesn't have to parse the entire
contents?  Or is that a feature request?
