I forgot to mention a critical point here -- the user has no concept of
what "maildb.insert --category abc" actually *does*.  We can implement it
however we want.  So if that means add an X-Maildb-Category header line,
or whether that menas frobbing the DB -- we can do whatever we want
(include totally change how it works, as long as the end result is the
same) and the user interface stays the same (i.e., we don't break any
procmail rules).
