If format conversion is done, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
that some kind of trace information (probably in the form of
a Received header field) should be added to a message to
document the conversion that has been performed.
Some people have expressed concerns, or even the opinion
that conversions should never be done. To accomodate the
desires of those who dislike the idea of automatic format
conversion. For this reason, it is suggested that such
transformations be generally restricted to gateways rather
than general message transport services, and that services
which perform such conversions should be sensitive to a
header field that indicates that the sender does not wish to
have any such conversions performed. A suggested value for
this header field is:
Content-Conversion: prohibited
