I mean standards that proliferate on top of others. Mail is
overburdened with headers. Mail processing that depends on headers
other than From, To and Subject (possibly CC,BC), will always break
badly when it does break, processing that only depends on the three main
fields will have more resilience.

I'm only being partially serious mind :-) but for instance in a large
repository it doesn't really help to filter on headers or listids for
svn mail, then you have to go into subject parsing.

I'm aware of that.
