I reports spam received in my personal mailboxes at mail servers not
under my control. I report received spam e.g. via spamcop.net.
One server uses custom X-* header for recording envelope sender instead
of pretty standard Return-Path: header.

How should I mark Return-Path: header generated by "email-client"?
Could you suggest something better than the example below?

1: Custom header to mark end of email-client generated headers

Return-Path: <user@example.com>
X-Email-Client-Headers: The End
<all original email client headers>

2: Custom Received: headers to mark end of email-client generated headers

Return-Path: <user@example.com>
Received: from pop3.demon.co.uk
by localhost with POP3 (fetchmail-6.2.5)
for user@example.com; Thu, 30 Jun 2005 00:14:08 +0100 (BST)
<all original email client headers>
