It would be very convenient if users could add/remove headers within Exim
filters, instead of having to pipe the mail through procmail or formail and
back to Exim. Semantically, I think it should be as if each "headers add" and
"headers remove" command appends to the headers_add and headers_remove options
of the corresponding router. If the user adds a header and later in the same
filter wants it removed, he should have used control structures to avoid adding
it in the first place.

This is of course not trivial; if it were, it would already be implemented. The
commands do *not* work the same in the system filter.

Security considerations: The same header checks as for incoming local messages
from untrusted users should probably be performed, at least if the message is
going to leave the system.
