I find it useful, and users of a number of mailing lists off my system have voiced no objections. I also enjoy the X-Face header line you use, but I can imagine objections to that too. Most useful, the mailing list indication makes it easy to group messages using the obiquitus "Subject:" line sorting, whereas there is little in the line of consistent sort algorithms that will work reliably for any other header line (or message contentsm for that matter). I don't think broken mailers come into the picture at all, and in any events, not everyone is in a position to repair their mailers. -- Lucio de Re (lucio@proxima.alt.za) Disclaimer: I'm working at getting my opinions to agree with me.
