At least the can could be better labled.

Please have a look at the attached patch anyway. If the recalculation can be
skipped when the fd *hasn't* been written to, at least it shouldn't make
matters worse.

After the message body has been written, the number of "lines" in it always
equals the number of LFs in it, doesn't it? If local_scan() doesn't terminate
the last line or does other funny business we won't guarantee that
body_linecount is correct.

How to detect whether the fd has been written to? Compare mtimes? Compare
nanosecond mtimes? Compare the size (assuming that any operation that alters
the number of lines should alter the size)? Checking the file offset
(specifying that local_scan() functions should *not* rewind fd to
SPOOL_DATA_START_OFFSET after writing to it (but after reading it - nah))?
