        Yes, all this has been beaten to death, in various flavors and at
    excruciating length, several times in the past. No, nobody has produced
    any patch so far. The reason was, nobody was able to come up with a
    design that meets two basic requirements:

    (1) the checks should lead to predictable results (that is: the OK /
        REJECT result doesn't depend on the order of the lines in header /
        body);

    (2) the checks don't require the messages to be scanned several times.
