Exactly.  It's an unreliable header.  So why use it?

I use sendmail + fetchmail + procmail + mutt.  No Return-Path: header
found.  Here's my full recipe for mutt-users.  Mangle to taste (I use
mbox folders; ymmv):

:0 H
* ^TO_.*@mutt.org
* ^Sender:.*owner\-mutt\-users\@mutt\.org
{
  :0
  { RULE="mutt users" }
  :0:
  IN.mutt
}


Apologies to members of the list who couldn't give a flying @#$%^
about procmail.  Stuff like this really ought to go to procmail-users
(another very good list IMO).
