That's what I meant by saying that this method not foolproof. My sender
address does not match my subscription address.

Again, this is not a foolproof way of figuring out if someone is not
subscribed but it should be a foolproof way of figuring out if someone
is subscribed, i.e., if you see the header then the sender is definitely
subscribed. If you don't see the header then the person may or may not
be subscribed, depending on how they sent the software.

That said, however, I just modified the software to check the header from
as well as the envelope sender. Maybe this email will show up with the
X-IsSubscribed header set.
