From the Wish List, which is online at

(333) 06-Jun-05 L Re-think and re-implement header handling
There are a number of items related to headers above. Better facilities
for handling headers at ACL time are needed. The whole way in which Exim
handles headers should be re-planned and re-implemented in a more
consistent manner.
These are the main previous items:
Exim 3 Wish List: 41, 85, 149, 187.
Exim 4 Wish List: 55, 62, 63, 160, 212, 237, 270, 314, 328.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
But when/whether I'll ever get time to do anything about it is unknown.
I do not expect to have time to even think about doing major development
for several months.
