Ugh! No! The Return-Path: field has everything required for g-h-u.
I find for practically all the lists I subscribe to either the Return-Path: or the
Sender: field are sufficient for the filter. Adding noise to an in-band field like
Subject: would be annoying and distracting; far better to keep it in a field normally
hidden, as it is at present.
Certainly the real name of the mailer machine shouldn't be being transmitted, though,
for exactly the reason you describe.
