And as a note, the preferred headers to set by servers with the envelope
to and from addresses are:

Apparently-To: & Apparently-From:

- 
- 
- Well, most servers do not handle Return-Path: correctly, but 
- originally it was intended to let the client decide where to 
- get messages about the mail they had sent. I don't think 
- imail makes any use of the
- Return-Path: header.
- 
- I think it'd be bad practice to set the Return-Path: header 
- when received if not present. The from header would be used 
- if there is no
- Return-Path: header.
- 
- It should be the client who sets the Return-Path: header, just as the
- Reply-to: header. Servers shouldn't mess with it as it is 
- also optional.

- - Uhhh - so this header should (and possibly could) have been 
- - set by the originating SMTP server?  In other words, that 
- - header could/should already exists in the header and Imail 
- - should NOT add it upon receipt of inbound mail.
- - 
- - If ANYTHING, Imail or Declude should add it to any OUTBOUND 
- - mail?  Scott?
