Well, all of that is only relevant for headers.

If my understanding is correct (which might well be not the
case;-) then INITIAL might still put us into BOGO_LEX mode.
So it seems to me that it could be not HEADER.

Now, if we have -H, I understand that BOGO_LEX is not an
option here as well, so INITIAL won't have any reasonable
thing to do? If this is incorrect, could you please give an
example. Thanks.
