Procmail is not used very reliably by most people, and when bogofilter
is spawned from procmail, that means: two copies of the mail in
RAM. I've considered to only cache the message in RAM when the input is
non-seekable, because if it's a regular file, we can just rewind(),
print the original message, insert the header and forget about memory
management and caching.
