In most cases I've noticed that only certain headers (such as From, To, Send, Subj) from the forwarded messge are included in the new outgoing message.  A couple exceptions:
	-Mutt seems to forward all headers that are currently being viewed.  So if the user is viewing all headers, then the MAC(...) header would be passed on.
	-Outlook Express has the option to 'Forward as Attachment', which will pass on the entire original message, including all headers.  Also attaching/embedding messages in Windows will include all the headers.

However these cases seem fairly limited, and I'd feel comfortable including MAC(...) as an X-header.

I wonder if there's a desire or way to enable an entire domain to blacklist itself.

Oh yeah, as this is my first post to the list, Hi everyone!  (and of course the Ob-bio: http://guh.nu/personal/ )
