I can state absolutely and categorically that no ISP (European or
otherwise) would EVER add an Organisation header.

An Organization header, OTOH, might be different.  [Hint: "local"
spelling variations count for nothing in the face of an RFC.]

I wasn't aware of any such "arrangement" as you describe.  As a sort of
test, I'm removing my customary Organization header from this post (which
will enter Usenet via Demon's mail2news gateway).  I note, incidentally,
that your post did not include any Organization header, which would seem
to give the lie to your theory, at least wrt Demon.
