Re: various headers questions

Does anyone know what these headers are used for?

      X-PMFLAGS: 

This one is for Pegasus Email - which can do threading on an 
all-Pegasus system.  The author of Pegasus found out that some SPAM 
companies were providing Pegasus as the emailer for their product, 
and he was getting heat for producing SPAMWARE.  He changed the 
freeware contract forbidding it's use to produce SPAM or UCE.  Some 
of the spammers, in response, started adding the PMail headerlines to 
make it look like they were using Pegasus just to get even.

      X-UIDL:
