Sure.  My list above was generated using my favorite semantic analysis
tool, grep, on my directory full of RFCs.

I sort of see your distinction between MTA and MUA headers, although I
don't see anything in the list other than Resent-* that strikes me as
something an MUA would do.  The closest is Auto-Submitted: for SIEVE
mailto: notifications, something that's in the MDA or maybe MSA.
