In that case I would suggest that "PREPEND" should simply not be available
in "cleanup" header/body checks. It is not clear that "PREPEND" makes any
sense for nested header checks, MIME header checks or the message body. It
makes some sense for the primary message header only. A compromise (if
anyone is inclined to compromise) is to implement "PREPEND" for header
checks only and to ignore it unless the header in question is a primary
message header (rather than a MIME entity header or a nested header).
