well, we had no form of reuse for SPF, so the scores were based on whatever
SPF records were in place at the time of mass-check.  in my opinion, basing
scores on this is better than on no data at all.

We could modify the code so that it knows that #reuse implies "tflags net",
sure.  basically I didn't want the effects of #reuse to be too widespread
in the main Mail::SpamAssassin classes, since it's only supposed to affect
mass-checks.

I see your point -- they are pretty messy.  other suggestions?
