Perhaps RFC976 needs a Path: line, which everyone diddles, and a From:
line, which only gateways diddle.

As a further refinement, if the gateway knows how to get to the existing
From: line, it might be advisable for it to clear the Path: line, or
add a new empty one. That way you can use the Path: line (if needed) to
get to the gateway, and trust the gateway to get it back past that. Only
if the gateway can't get back to the original machine should it migrate
the Path: line into the From: line.

I hink this should cover most everything...
