If that's true then they are very broken indeed. None of the headers imply
any repsonsibility for delivery - they are for the information of the MUA
and the recipients. The SMTP envelope is the only place that recipients
are specified.

It's not wise to try to fix broken behaviour somewhere else with a kludge....
