exim itself has an option to strip out envelope-to header.
strip out envelope-to while message coming, and add such a
header while doing appendfile transport. this is possible
because (I think) exim store the original envelope recipient(s)
information. I know, everyone makes mistake, but that would
be another story. IMHO.

please note that envelope-to header has nothing todo with
loop detection.

but that makes one should download three identical messages
instead just one (on domain-in-a-box situation).
