Just a joke. According to the SMTP standard you are allowed to add
certain predefined headers like From:, To:, CC: and *any* header you
like if it's name begins with "X-". So the line
X-useless-header: blahblah
is a valid emaqil header. Some email-processing software uses such
custom headers to store additional information (like X-been-there: which
is used by several mailing list software to preven the multiple sending
of a posting).
