The X-Topics: FOO is because the post matched the FOO topic. A Keywords:

Agreed! Oddly none of the 'techie' lists I have ever been on enable this
feature. Couple of critter lists that started on Listserve and moved to

How would you be a good judge of fairness? Have you been developing
mailing list software for twenty years and reading the requests and
problems of users daily for that period?

Easy to say if you're not the one who has to deal with the bug reports.
To analogize the entire thread-
Mailman is a high quality precision-ground Phillips screwdriver, but it does
not work on square-drive (Robertson) screws nor open paint cans. The OP is
asking that it be modified so that it does; the developers and other users
are discussing why this is not a

If you have no connection to them, but post to the list for

I think you are talking here about a web forum, where you can "subscribe"
to information posted to a certain thread. I never saw this in a real mailing
list.
I Cc: this reply to you to make sure you see it - but I wonοΏ½t do this for
