I don't think so. IMO, it's just too much when it's a response to a test message and you want to actually see if there's anything wrong with the message header and body content.

Sure, the "paper tearlines on the side and bottom" are ugly, and take away from dissecting the actual content of the message.

": O :" is junk, when trying to see if a test message doesn't contain any actual "junk".

Yes. Personally, I like the top part (the "header" above the solid line), and maybe even the description of it being an automated reply to a test message should be above that solid line, but the rest of the actual content of said message should be left alone. That's just my opinion, though. You do whatever you want.
