So, even exact match with some email header is useless to the

So, entirely opaque to the recipient and solely for the sender's use,
unless decided otherwise (out of band, typically)

This also provides an added layer of security for a reputation model,
I guess - where i= can be a hashed token that is unique + parseable by
a plugin at the recipient ISP and hooks into a reputation system (sort
of what goodmail would do if it plugged into dkim?)
