I remember code which strips all of the Content-* foo headers for a part when modifying that part.   I assume that's generally fine if everything is being messed with.

My interest was in preservation of unknown content-* fields when the body-part is being tranfered (relayed or whatever).

If the content itself is being messed with, I'd assume all bets are off for its associated meta-data in content-* fields, since really the body-part will now be a different object...


Our s/mime code also does specially handling of all content-* headers when signing/encrypting, so a "new" one is safe there as well.

thanks!
