Another minor point: If a message is rejected after being modified, which version of the message should be sent to the bounce address, the original message or the one with a modified header?


The one with the modified header. This was covered by the "Actions that create messages..." sentence in section 5, which I'm changing to the "Actions that store or send the message..." sentence mentioned above.


Fine with me.

Please note specifically that addheader/refuse won't use the modified message, though. (Yes, I realize that for all known current implementations, addheader/refuse isn't possible in the first place.)

The text in -01 effectively says that "reject" should use the modified message. How is "refuse" different? If "refuse" uses an SMTP/LMTP response, than there is no message?

It could be (I don't know, nor really care) that you should mention that addheader/reject in that order could expose information unintended, so users should be careful where appropriate.
