	It's obvious that we need at least two things here:
	1)  An easily accessible, clearly worded statement regarding what
	    the various header lines mean (for example, just what does the
	    Sender: line mean?); and
	2)  A convention for routing of error messages to appropriate places.

Quite right.  Luckily this has been done; see RFC821 and RFC822,
available from the Network Information Center (SRI-NIC.ARPA).  Reading
this stuff is a must for anyone who mucks with mailers.
