I'd think so too, but take a look at how many Outlookers appear on our list.

That last header allows people to automatically filter all my funny
headers from any given mail on-the-fly. A while ago, I demonstrated a
rather insecure way of using that header automatically. The same thing
can be done in production, as long as proper checks are done before
acceptance of the header.
