yes, none of which were in the original email. They were all added in
along the way. The only payload originally in this email was these
words:

"no headers

hopefully not many headers in this email"

All I am trying to say is that your MUA does not HAVE to put any headers
in, and the headers have nothing to do with delivery, the message is
delivered by smtp, using the envelope address. the from: and to: headers
inside the envelope are irrelevant.
