Here's my opinion:

When my domain sends a message to a third party, this third party should
not use my domain name when it decides to forward the message. If it
needs to forward the message, it should generate a new message, either
copying the content or attaching the original message, and use its own
envelope to send that new message.

You are welcome to your opinion, but you're twenty years to late to
state it.

If it were practical to implement it, I'd probably agree with you. But
people out there are just too slow to adapt. Much of the world hasn't
even updated to ESMTP yet, for $DEITY's sake.

Too many people when challenged just declare that it's their _right_ to
make such bizarre requirements retroactively, without actually bothering
to explain their thought process.

There are answers to this problem which don't require the world to
'upgrade' to match your idea of how things should be. What's your
problem with those?
