I would like to add one additional safeguard. That is add an enable_is_header variable in dbmail.conf that defaults to false. This requires that the mail admin knowingly turn this feature on knowing that his database is uptodate.

DBMail 2.0 branch is supposed to be stable, I should be able to upgrade from 2.0.0 -> 2.0.1 -> 2.0.x without having to think, or having to do anything special.

I thought some more about the is_header thing, and realized two issues:

1) My complaint against not being able to downgrade and upgrade freely is
10% valid and 90% ridiculous.

2) We should add a check to dbmail-util that can repair incorrect
is_header markings.

1+2) The 10% validity of my complaint is alleviated by an attentive mail
administrator who runs dbmail-util on a regular basis. So the worst case
is that a few pieces of mail are inaccessible until the next run of
dbmail-util.

Was I the only objector to rolling in is_header support? If so, let's do
this thing for 2.0.2 or 2.0.3!
