RescoreDetails: --reuse?
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/RescoreDetails
> Do not use --reuse if you have scanned with SA, but have configured that scanner to run with -L, or you have disabled common network tests or SPF. This is because it relies on the presence of the X-Spam-Status line to pick up hits on those rules, and currently cannot detect those conditions.
Perhaps the page should omit --reuse by default since it is more likely
that someone reading this page doesn't have all the add-on network tests
installed?
I personally don't have them all, and lots of my corpus is lacking
spamassassin headers.

But for most people, they have not _manually_ disabled some of the rules, so
this doesn't apply. Overall, it's preferable to provide --reuse'd results *if
at all possible*, and we can sort it out at the log collation stage, on the
backend. Hence I've reverted your wiki change...

The code is smart enough to know that if you don't have the headers it
should turn off reuse. Now if you have headers but have turned off a
bunch of network tests thats a different story. In that case the data
is not useful so you should not run with reuse.
