That made me think of something else.

What if I want to send a message to two people, and to a third but
without a stamp?  Perhaps new headers which are merged once the filter
has computed stamps?  (NoHC-Bcc might be trickier)

X-NoHC-To: X-NoHC-Cc: X-NoHC-Bcc:

Is that a useless feature, or is there a practical use for it?
