[resend; original seems to have been lost]

Interesting... seems to be a message generated by an intermediary
that used a heuristic to vector the message and effect a
transformation... Unfortunately, that transformation was performed
without proper knowledge of the semantics of the application
protocol, incurring unintended and undesireable results.

Maybe if we standardized the heuristics and the means of vectoring,
the transformation engines would magically behave in a more
responsible manner... or maybe it would just encourage the deployment
of transformation engines.
