  This is not true. Standards define a set of conditions, that's all.

  The argument against change is that untested change may make it 
worse. Like EOT.

  This is not true either. I demonstrated that an FTS-compliant
message can use EOT to remove the genuine Tearline and Origin line...
or half the message, depending on how EOT is implemented by other
authors of EOT-aware readers.

  EOT is flawed, Paul. You stuffed up. Using EOT can damage mail.
