Two and a half points:  my unmungers are just a proof of concept.  I can think
of all sorts of reasons it wouldn't work at scale, ranging from too many 
different
ways that lists munge to a variety of malicious things that look like address
munging but aren't.

More to the point, the whole point of making mutations reversible is so that
recipient systems can recover the original signed message and intermediates
can leave the From header alone, only making changes that they consider
useful, like subject line tags, rather than defensive ones to avoid DMARC
failures.

R's,
John
