As far as I know, every MTA that adds a Delivered-To: header records an internal

Here's the one that gmail put on, for a message it delivered to me:

Delivered-To: dcrocker(_at_)gmail(_dot_)com

That looks surprisingly like the public version of my gmail email address.


While saying 'internal version of the address' sounds quite special, there is, as of yet, no example that has been provided, to show what makes it different from a regular email address, nor any technical detail provided that makes clear what needs to be supported, but is not, in the current draft.

Elaborations and, well, technical details, continue to be eagerly sought.
