Not true, since there are header adding/deleting features for all
drivers now. And even without those, headers get rewritten as part of
the routing (e.g. ph10@cus gets turned into ph10@??? within
the cam.ac.uk domain).

Given the header adding/rewriting, I think I disagree with this.

Why? We deliver far more messages locally than we deliver remotely, and
I'm sure this is true of many sites. Therefore, saving in local format
makes sense.

That might be possible. Exim would also have to keep the number of lines
starting with "."
