Comment (by David Smith):
Does the header need to be removed entirely? Could we advise folk to set
the header to "no" to disable it?
https://www.iana.org/assignments/auto-submitted-keywords/auto-submitted-
keywords.xhtml
The current patch has this to add the header:
{{{
if "Auto-Submitted" not in self.extra_headers:
# Default to adding the Auto-Submitted: auto-generated header
self.extra_headers["Auto-Submitted"] = "auto-generated"
}}}
So could we documentat this by something like...
> By default `EmailMessage` sets the `Auto-Submitted` header to `auto-
generated` to indicate that the mail was created by software rather than a
human. The value of the `Auto-Submitted` header can be customised by the
`headers` option. To disable the header the value of `Auto-Submitted` can
be set to "no".
