If I recall correctly...

This Habeas is some sort of a braindead business idea to insert an
unauthenticated header in bodies of "legitimate" emails coming from
their customers, to assure spam filters that the email is legitimate.

Kind of like SPF, but implemented by third graders with multiple
learning disabilities.

The idea is that the Habeas header text is copyrighted, and spammers who forge it can be sued for copyright infringement rather than more traditional spam-related charges than trespass, false advertising, etc.

Does anybody know whether Habeas has found this to be a successful strategy?
