Overengineering (seems to be becoming a habit?) perhaps, but if you're
going to parse one Received field, why not do them all, sort, and take
the latest reasonable one?  Leaving the sorted list on msg_data might
also be useful to spam filters (although we don't really want to
recommend spam filtering in Mailman...).
