David,

My main concern is better filtering. Bogofilter does addionnal job when 
parsing headers. I just found that without header tokens its filtering 
capability is more accurate. So, why another tool? In one shot you can 
make bogofilter faster and better... It is not that I am asking to add 
some code. I want to get rid of existing unwanted functionality.
