Apologies, the last section should have been numbered (6), and have
read:

        (D) In corporate mail environments, it is important to make sure
            that a newcomer to a thread (i.e., someone who receives a 
            forwarded message) can see the entire history; accountability
            may be important.

I hereby volunteer to condense this down into something that may or may
not be suitable as a general FAQ response, with links to more extensive
discussions on other web sites.

Cheers,
pls
