No, Sir, I couldn't. Maybe I shouldn't have made that incidental
remark in passing, because it seems to have distracted from the
practical issue. If Phil says it's not legal, then that's good enough
for me. (But not, unfortunately, for my user!)

Well, as I say, the practical problem here is that the user _is_ being
sent such stuff (or rather, attempts are being made to send it ;-),
and _would_ like to receive it, but he has no leverage by which to
persuade the sender to adjust their mail distribution headers.
Sorry. I don't like it either, but I still feel the need of some kind
of fix to satisfy this user request.
