Correct, and why I did what I did...

If I had a client that did let me manually adjust headers, I might have

connected with the drifted topic, but wasn't so related to the original.
But it's years since I've seen a client that lets one do such a thing.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
