When you say meta-data, do you mean email headers?

Anything we can put into machine parsable headers will greatly
help anyone doing email parsing. This is what FreshPorts has done
for 20 years. I'm thinking X- headers.

This isn't so much only for FreshPorts, but for anything else which
may come along.
