I believe many (Microsoft) Exchange mail servers do this.  Drives me
nuts.

I remember looking at the issue some while ago but I didn't find an
easy fix.  It's fairly clear that the mail clients others use at my
workplace will in fact do this.

So I'm also interested in a way of doing this.  Adding a hook would be
one way, but my elisp skills are a tad rusty :-/
