headers. Thats information you certainly don't need 80% (pareto) of the time.

The problem with the "try it again" approach is that there is no assurance
the failure will repeat. Information lost, is just lost, making end user
support on the 20% (your number) of the cases where there is a problem
impossible. Etc.

Sure. No doubt, that these days, as oppose to days where mail volume STORAGE was a premium and overhead was pruned, preservation RFC/MIME is the first consideration.
