Foiled again.

I was hoping to build the last bits needed in the smtp decoder around the
visited flag.

This is the bit where I can correctly handle the message part of an smtp
trace.  

If the packet has been visited, then I will rely on the saved per frame
state if it exists.

Unfortunately, visited is reset to zero when you filter, which does not help.

So, now I need to keep per packet state for all frames. I had been hoping
to avoid that.
