Well....

There are other classes of messages, such as delivery *success*
notifications, for which <> is specced as appropriate; see RFC2821
4.5.5 and (eg) RFC2298 or RFC4356.  Even for other mail, though, it's
only a SHOULD - and there are other cases where <> is specifically
called out as appropriate.  For example, see RFC3464 4.2 item (d).
