Yes, that method does work... if you're taking it in and sending it
right out again. But it means you have to hang onto two pieces of data
- the message and the new Received header - until you write it to a
file/socket.

(By the way, side point: I tend to avoid calling a socket "socket", as
that's the name of the module. I'd use "sock" in examples. Otherwise
someone's liable to go digging for a top-level method "write" in the
"socket" module, and get confused. And then think that sockets are
confusing, which they're not!)
