I'm not religious about headers, but I find IETF headers to be useful
in some circumstances. For example, we have a listmaster list with
all our LISTSERV administrators on it. List owners vcan send
questions to it. With IETF headers, I can tell that a reply was
sent to someone who asked a question and cced to the list.
With regular headers it's not obvious.
