Yes. It's a parser so custom headers could arrive. I want to store them in a 
hash like:

  headers = { :from => "alice@qweeq", ":to => "bob@qweqwe }

So after parsing the message I create these entries. The problem is that any 
custom header would create a Symbol.

I think it's important since after parsing hte main task of the server wille 
accessing some headers to read their content. But since it's just in a very 
early stage I cannot sure it.

Thanks.
