Personally, given the 150 KB spams I've been getting lately, I'd like
to see this. So far a headers only check would catch 100% of my
"oversized" spam.
Actually, it could be a useful speedup in general. Run a headers only
check on all mail, only if it gets more than N hits do you give it a
full SA run. You take a hit on the stuff most likely to be spam, but
you gain on (what hopefully should be) the majority of mail.
