No.  It's still present and is working as intended -- ignoring tokens
when computing message scores.   

It _could_ be put to use as a registration filter, though that would
slow bogofilter and was never its intended use.

I'll give it some thought, but won't make any promises, though if
someone else were inspired to do some coding ...
