So what we're saying here is that if you create a META rule on a
disabled (scored 0) rule, the META rule doesn't work? Didn't work before
either? Or still works but generates an info debug message? Guess I
should go dig out the rest of this converation and go read the bug
discussion...

Having to score every component of a META rule seems like a bad thing...
My MTA integration only allows for 4K of headers to add and I'm already
exceeding it fairly often. Adding more insignificant rules to the list
will just make it that much worse...

I guess it's time to write my own integration code... Ugh.
