Can there be rules that only parse the headers?

Hi there

This is a continuation of a query I made last week about my workstation 
grinding to a halt when procmail received a 90Mb Email message (ran out of 
memory). The point is, such message sizes are fine by me, as long as the 
system can handle it. Is there any way I could make procmail only read 
the headers of that message before scanning /etc/procmailrc/~/.procmailrc 
and acting on it? That way it wouldn't need to read the entire message 
into memory, and World peace would be assured :-)
