I'll add "as the message is read" to the spec. These removals happen at
input time.

Anything in the main section applies to "receive time". The
directors/routers apply at "deliver time", which of course may happen
more than once if a message is delayed. Headers add/remove in a director
or router just attach the info to the address. The adding actually
happens at transport time for that address.
