Definitely zap the above.

False would be best.  We already have people complaining about the size of
their databases.

Are the habeas headers a dead-end in the wider world that most Spambayes
users simply don't use?  If they are spoofed they should be a fairly good
spam clue.  I'm not sure I'd delete them yet.
