Prepending is obviously fine, and is recommended by RFC2822.

Appending is fine, so long as any preexisting Resent-* headers are

I'm new around here, and so I hope I'll be forgiven for asking an obvious question. If the answer is RTF FAQ entry or RTF list archives, I will happily respect that, but would appreciate some specific pointer to help me find what I over looked. OK, so here goes the obvious question.

Why not use source routing? It is not used for anything else, and 2821 requires accepting source routed addresses but ignoring the content except for the end of the path.

As I said, I'm new to this discussion. And this seems to me like such an obvious option, that there must be something fatally wrong with it if we're looking at RFROM and trying to use Resent-* headers.

So what am I missing?
