How about this:

a) if filter_begin and/or filter_end are defined, then proceed as with 
"filter_undecoded" -- the routines will be called, but the message will 
not be decoded.  filter_begin and filter_end will be operating on the 
raw message only.

b) if none of them are defined, then the entire content filtering phase 
will be skipped.

And, yeah, still do this too (which, I guess, would cause the above (b) 
behavior even if the routines _were_ defined).
