Agreed. Too many mail clients have a fixed set of header lines that they show, and it never includes List-ID: or X-Mailing-List: or Mailing-List: nor anything else that list software might reasonably add; that's why there are ugly hacks around like tagging the subject line (yeccccch). On my last list -- which I ran with homebrew routines, not with SmartList -- I ended up removing Cc: and Resent- lines from incoming posts and clobbering To: with the name and submission address of the list. I hesitated at first, figuring that was depriving members of information (for example, they would not know whether a follow-up article had also been emailed directly to the previous poster), but it occurred to me that digest-mode readers never get that information anyway and are none the worse for surviving without it. So I went ahead, and nobody ever complained. It made it easier for people with limited filtering capability (for example, back then Hotmail users could sort on To: but not on Cc:) to filter posts to their own folder, and it prevented the buildup of extraneous addressees in a chain of reply-alls. On second thought, if there had been good reason to preserve the original addressing information, I could have just used formail's -i option instead of -I in that filter.
