That all depends on who the reader is and what is meant by clear. :)

For me just putting that information in a header in which I could tell
Mutt to display works for me. :)

But for everyone else, viewing the source (or internet headers) is
always an option. I don't know if that qualifies as "clear to the
reader", but it is close enough for me.
