Re: [Asrg] Standardization of RFC headers for email content analysis?

      The charter calls for both a taxonomy of existing methods as
well as an evaluation of those methods. It would seem that both efforts
would be served by documentation of the various extended headers in use
today.

far too detalied, I think, and probably off the mark.  in particular, message
headers are part of the payload to be transmitted from sender to recipient,
not part of the envelope used by the transfer/delivery system. i.e. they are not
an appropriate means to transmit information between different parts of the 
delivery system.

that and for the purpose of this discussion it's probably sufficient if we
classify a few kinds of things that analysis tools look for (e.g. originator
characteristics, signal path, gross message characteristics, specific
items in the content) and some of the kinds of filtering that are done based
on the analysis (e.g. discard, bounce, alter, delay, require confirmation)
