They can always be stuffed into the body if you're concerned about them. Thus, I believe it will be proper to collect all "received" headers, in the order of appearance in the 822 headers, whether all nicely grouped at the beginning or not. Why do you object to collecting them all together? I don't understand the problem. You were saying that reordering the ``Received:'' lines was not a good idea, because it loses information that might be useful in tracking down bugs. I just pointed out that collecting them together loses information, too. The whole point, I guess, is whether you want to be able to debug 822 through the gateway. If so, you probably have to preserve the entire header somewhere. If not, I don't really see why you want to preserve the ``Received:'' lines at all. Dan
