I would be in favor of removing the extras from the default files.
Most of what I'm seeing in headers is stuff like spam filter rankings.
Never understood what I was supposed to do with this except use it to
tune spam to get through.  Also piles of versioning information for
microsoft projects which is also useless to me, like what would I as
a recipient do with x-ms-office365-filtering-correlation-id?
