But instead of doing it on the original tax day, April 15th, we will do it on April 24-25. Because, *reasons*.

On further inspection, it does look like my mail client strips out all headers that aren't To, Cc, Bcc, and Subject.  I guess will have to use git send-email instead, but will leave that to another day. ;-)
