Return-Path isn't - that's only intended for mail delivery, messages should
never contain one of those until they're being delivered (and anyone who
believes they should should thank any mailer that corrects them).

The Sender ones are more problematic, but I have sympathies with the view
that they should indicate who is actually sending the message, and not
what that person thinks they should say (with the exception of Sender which
clearly needs to be allowed if there are any Resent- headers).
