I have one list subscriber here who is having some difficulty, probably with
an errant spam filter at his ISP, and headers are being improperly modified
somewhere, just above a quoted Return-Path header added by courier
(">Return-Path:").  This doesn't seem to cause a problem with any other list
subscribers, but I did a bit of checking up on the issue.

This quote is added by code in submit.C.  Is this supported by RFC?
According to RFC 2822 (3.6.6) RFC-legal headers in an email which is

2.2. Header Fields

  Header fields are lines composed of a field name, followed by a colon
  (":"), followed by a field body, and terminated by CRLF.  A field
  name MUST be composed of printable US-ASCII characters (i.e.,
  characters that have values between 33 and 126, inclusive), except
  colon.


The only character prohibited in header names is the colon.

Still, due to client breakage, I changed the code recently to use "Old-Return-Path".
