  13. You should *never* rewrite headers to something that you can't accept when
  14. given back at you (i.e. the foo^bar^baz stuff that you said bounces).  If
  15. your site can handle RFC822 headers (which Waffle can), then there's no
  16. reason for them to do *any* header rewriting when sending to you.
