High level goal:
I would like to know everything there is to know about email headers.

Realistic goal:
I know that for the price posted, I'm not going to accomplish my high
level goal via Google Answers - that is probably a $20,000 question.

However, could you provide me solid, comprehensible links and some
explanation on email headers.  What are their main individual
components?  What do the arcane messages and codes mean?  How can I
decipher them?
