Some software takes advantage of Comments headers in email, not for
text intended to be read by humans, but by other software. (e.g.,
Hyperbole for Emacs, when enabled, will insert a header:

  Comments: Hyperbole mail buttons accepted, v04.023.

All the more reason we should document existing practice instead of
inventing standards where none exists.
