I'd like to use the same header, but there's one problem: POP3 lets you
ask for the size of a message, so pop3proxy needs to add on the length of
the header before it's seen the message.  But X-Hammie-Disposition is
variable-length...  We could make the 'clues' section of the header
optional, so that pop3proxy adds "X-Hammie-Disposition: Yes; 0.99" or
"X-Hammie-Disposition:  No; 0.99" [note the extra space, yuck].  Is that
close enough to "formatted the same"?  I'd vote yes - "practicality beats
purity" 8-)

Not at all - I only gave it a license to introduce a (theoretically)
enforceable disclaimer.  In the absence of a formal mechanism, you can
take this message as proof that I "transfer rights in and to the
Contribution [...] to the Python Software Foundation" as the draft
agreement puts it.  I'll remove my copyright and the MIT license the next
time I commit.
