Re: [ietf-smtp] New Version Notification for draft-crocker-email-deliveredto-00.txt

The examples show Delivered-To: next to the last Received: field, which implies that Return-Path: is going to get pre-pended after the Delivered-To: field. If in practice they can appear in either order (which seems perfectly plausible), that seems like a reasonable thing to mention. ...

Depends on the implementation.

If you want to add helpful advice, I'd also add Sam V's point that it's widely used to break mail loops. I think that every MDA that adds Delivered-To checks to see of the message already has the same D-T and if so drops or bounces the message.
