Hi,

I've spent the weekend writing a filter for the Courier-MTA that parse
down MIME-headers and looks for suspect file-attachments.

The filter performs a strict syntax-parsing on the mail-header, and I've
noticed that sometimes the "Return-Path" header-name is prefixed with a
'>' character (as illustrated in the header below). Is this done by the
Courier-MTA, or are these headers received like this?

This is done by Courier. Courier inserts its own Return-Path: header on locally-delivered mail, that contains the envelope return address.

If the message already has an existing Return-Path: header, it will get prefixed by the > character.
