While I agree with you, his MUA has no control over what the list does to his messages. So my statement that his MUA is set up correctly is factually correct. > Using Message-ID-based discarding is unsafe, and people could use that > to cause you to lose mailing list messages if (especially on a large > mailing list) they receive the message ahead of you.

By headers, I do not mean the RFC-type headers, but text added to the top of a message body. I have never seen a list do this, but I cannot discount the possibility of it occuring. > I used to have a system where personal mail that also have a mailing > list (to which I'm subscribed) listed as a recipient would be dropped. > This is safer, in that a forged message would only cause me to lose > the forged message, not some other harmless message.
