I rather suspect, by the way, that if I were to put:

X-Comment-1: My key has been seized, please regard it as compromised
X-Comment-2: A____ B_______ is a paedophile
X-Comment-3: Let Osama know that the package arrived

into the header, it would amazingly enough become content.  Now, what
about modifying my SMTP client to insert handy words into the Recieved:
lines?  Were I to send

EHLO Deliver-the-package-on-Friday.batten.eu.org

then the header would even have Received lines which contain content.
