Thanks a lot! Looks okay. But to the Procmail Guru's, how costly is
it to run this scoring recipe? It looks expensive to me!! Maybe less
expensive than piping the message to `wc -l', but still expensive.

I would prefer O(k), k = constant, since I may recover this info for a
couple of thousands of e-mails... Since procmail has it internally,
would it be too awful to pass the value along to a recipe?
