I didn't see any documentation for the "Control:" pseudo-header beyond  
that it exists and (in some unexplained manner) allows control@  
commands in normal messages [1].  So it would be even more important  
to mention the fact that "-1' does something here in the first place,  
don't you think?
(Obviously, an example or two would also not be amiss.)
