It is. :-)

We can, if we care to code it in Perl.

*I* did not code Received header parsing in MIMEDefang for two reasons:

1) I don't see the point, and
2) Header lines can be faked.

I posted code to parse Received: lines from trusted hosts; that's about
as far as I would take header parsing.  Anything more is dangerous and
untrustworthy.
