So, when the MLM relaying the message adds a subject tag, that alteration is a 
welcomed "decoration" - but when it changes the mailbox in the Header-From to 
itself, it is an unwelcomed "corruption".
 
I can understand the welcomed vs unwelcomed thing, but I do not agree with 
calling the alteration "decoration" in one place but "corruption" in the other.
 
Loading the language in such a way is asking for a given conclusion even before 
the debate has started. That's not fair (I'm not predicating that from you, 
Matt, just talking in general terms).
