Hrm.  So reuse doesn't seem to work the way I thought/expected it to.
Right now, I have my mass-check going, and have very few hits for the
URIBL rules.  It looks like what's happening is that with --reuse,
mass-check assumes all mails were previously run through SpamAssassin,
and so would have an X-Spam-Status line to go parse.

Of course, that assumption is largely false -- there's no guarantee of
a former status line at all.  In my case, a vast majority of my corpus
(ham and spam traps) have no X-Spam-Status header because they would be
directly filed from procmail into an appropriate folder without being
scanned first (there was no reuse at the time).  So at the moment,
of the 172k spam messages processed so far, only 8k have a URIBL hit,
all personal spams that I received which were filtered when received.

What I expected to happen is that if there was an X-Spam-Status header in
the message, mass-check would reuse the net results.  If there wasn't, it'd
let the normal rules run as before.
