When a user successfully confirms an email, the email that I receive
contains the following header information:

        X-TMDA-Confirmed: Tue Dec 10 11:07:33 EST 2002

I like being able to look at the header and get useful information
like this.

Would it make any sense to add something like that for all incoming email?

My reason for asking this is that I'd like to be able to figure out,
from the email itself, exactly why TMDA let it through, instead of having
to search through the log files.  For example, maybe something like:

        X-TMDA-Action: OK (from-file ~/.tmda/lists/whitelist.bareappend accept)
        X-TMDA-Action: OK good_keyword_cookie "fffl"

For some emails, it's very easy to figure out why they got through TMDA.
Some of them it isn't always obvious.  Having a header that tells you why
TMDA did what it did can be helpful, especially for users who are not
logged into a shell account when they read their email (e.g. webmail
clients or my wife who uses Mozilla mail).  Everything else in the
logfiles I can already get through the normal headers in my email.
Just not the "Actn:" entries.

I'd be happy to do the coding to get this to work.  My question, before
I dive into it, is whether or not any of you think it's a good idea.

Cheers,
- Mark
