It's a convention used by exmh (the MH frontend I used prior to
switching to Gnus for email).  I don't know where Brent Welch picked
it up from, maybe Wes knows.  A header of that type is turned into a
nice clickable button on the X-Faces line.  I submitted the patch to
Gnus to make it work in a similar way, so I guess you could blame me
for that.  But absolutely count on Netscape to ignore existing usage
and reinvent the wheel in their own fashion :-(.

What are the last two letters of "doesn't" and "can't"?
Coincidence?  I think not.
