incoming mail arrives on my machine with a To-address which no longer
contains the information of how the sender had originally addressed me,
as the intermediate sites often modify the To-address as the mail gets
passed on from site to site.

I wished all mail would arrive with a header:

X-Sent-To: <original To-address used>
X-CCed-To: <original CC-address>
..etc..

as this is often the only way I can understand and comment on addressing
problem the sender might be having.  Often the CC-addresses arrive here
mangled, as some sites along the way modify them, but others don't,
leaving me to try to hand-knit addresses before I can send a REPLY (to) ALL

has this been discussed before?  has anyone implemented such?
(I might as well start configuring our sendmail.cf do that to encourage
others to follow ...)
