--reuse should take care of this.  Everyone should save their X-Spam-*
headers in their corpus msgs. Reuse sets the rule score to zero so for
msgs that it didn't hit, and still have their X-Spam-Status header
present we shouldn't be doing any sort of lookup.

Maybe we should add a --force-reuse that would ignore any msgs that
can't be reused.
