The IP network certainly imposes no changes on Internet mail.  So I'm not sure
how "network" can be one of the issues.

As for gateways, those transit to non-Internet mail systems and, of course,
always do some damage to the message. They might be interesting to study, but we
have enough to worry about simply within the scope of "pure" Internet mail
components.

We simply have the reality that all sorts of noise is imposed on messages as
they transit various UAs, MSAs, MTAs and MDAs.

Hence the study you are proposed will set an empirical baseline for exactly what
the noise (modification) is and probably how common each bit of modification is.
