To carry your analogy forward into the absurd, to be useful "please"
and "thank you" have to be heard and recognized as such.
If you use a header that is not universally supported, or even
supported by a fairly popular mail client (Mutt in this case) or
frequently used (if not popular) MTA (Exchange in this case), then
you can't really complain if it gets ignored.
As I said earlier, Mutt never saw it.
