Of course. But with "technically" I meant that the inter-MTA
SMTP dialogue itself, like pretty much everying after DATA,
does not suffer from the recipient being unaware of the
envelope-from. I was not suggesting we leave pertinent
headers out. :)

My point, contrary to the opinion of the OP, was that the
'return-path' (envelope-from) is especially the area of
inter-MTA traffic.
