Well, call me weird, but whenever I've gotten mail messages, I'm frequently
annoyed by all the fields.  Now that I'm a groovy MH user, I can see that I
no longer need worry about it.  However, I like to keep my outgoing
messages lean and mean.  Short, crisp, and to the point- no extra fluff.
Someone sent me mail and said that you want the extra From:'s and Date:'s
in there because mail administrators can then track down problems.  But,
the very first thing my machine does is slap a From: and Date: field on the
message.  So if the message gets anywhere at all, it's gonna have 'em.
Otherwise, any problem would certainly be on my local machine...
