Oh, you patch the executable.  This just encourages authors to put out
executables with compression and/or encryption (such as with JPSoft's
4NT).  Alternately, RITLabs could defeat that by checking to see if
certain data fields have changed.

Since I'm now using X-Ray to do some external pre-inbox filtering,
I've also added filtering to change X-Mailer (and I've added a X-Ray
line to the kludges - it's not forced upon me).
