Processed-By and Original- and New- are not identity headers.
They are all trace headers (like Received and Return-Path) intended
to be used by email agents that have made changes to either destination
or source (this being either the envelope parameters and rfc2822 email
address headers) of email transmission and would like a standard way to 
record this information in email message
