Unfortunately, some inferious (popular) MUAs don't let you filter on arbitrary
headers.  Outlook Express is one.

My default response is "who cares?", but I know many do.

Probably not, since you'd look for any header matching "X-Spam-Flag: YES" and
not a single one matching NO.

Of course, the problem here was Moz, not procmail/maildrop; moz's mail
filtering is less sophisticated.
