That I did.   Back then people occasionally created new and meaningful
new header fields - not often, but there were some.   That was also a time
when more users understood e-mail and had more control over what their
mailers did.

If you're imagining that I am going to be one, then ... I finally gave
up and deleted the Extras line from my mhl.format back in January.
These days all the newly invented fields are nonsense (most don't deserve
to exist at all, much less ever be seen by a human - or anything else).
