Interesting point. From time to time I use telnet to send email (usually  
when testing that something is working). I try to use as few header as  
possible, and if I were doing it in some EAI environment, it would be  
tedious to type in 3 extra headers (MINE, CT and CTE) which appeared to  
serve no useful purpose.
