If one chooses to ignore the warning "changes to header may make the mail undeliverable", one can freely modify headers with the often un- fortunate result that addresses that appear on outgoing mail may differ significantly from those of the BSMTP envelope. My point is that the warning message itself seems to state that whatever changes one has choosen to make to the header have indeed been incorpor- ated into the BSMTP envelope. But clearly this is not the case! Should not the text of the warning message be changed or, better still, provisions made to permit any header modifications to be incorporated into the BSMTP envelope? Thanks ... Joe
