Note that one difference is that it is computers in the intermediate
hops as opposed to postmen.  Postmen cannot be expected to keep logs
(add headers) on intermediate hops (by scribbling notes on the letters, 
maybe?)
Computers can and do have this ability.  If it were
economical/practical, the postal service would do this, too.

Wait - the postal service _does_ do this.  Have you seen the package
tracking that is done these days?  Package/letter tracking is
*wonderful*.  There is no fundamental reason this could not be done
electronically with e-mail.

Try looking at the Received headers some time.  They are and long have
been tracking that's hard to beat - especially for the detailed
headers put on by good MTAs.

Are you intending to argue that this information ought to be
replicated in the MAIL FROM by resurrecting return path source routes?
