IFF you configured it to do so. At least some MTAs don't put a
Return-Path: header in by default.
Also, what happens in the case of MTA1 delivering the message to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], then the user uses fetchmail to re-deliver it to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]? That could result in 2 Return-Path:
headers ...
The envelope really is separate from the rest of the message
(headers+body), but some MTAs can be / are configured to store it in
the headers of the message for the convenience of the final recipient.
