Signatures can be wise to give hints to the replier. But I prefer it
should be automated. So I need not to patch that in my mail reply.

To mail back via the path the news came to me is silly (a lot of hops,
but perhaps fast).
Via the sendmail included lines in the header we can descover some
path which is fast and not a lot of hops. There is a possibility to
rerout mail to the best path.
The pieces are around to automate rerouting via some statistics input.
It is possible to provide the rerout statistics automatically on the net.
Ideas?
