I guess that IS the reason (certainly most people do not
know how to even look at the headers, let alone
understand them!).
BUT if the headers ARE supplied, then:
(a) Help desk people can figure out how to help someone
who can't unsubscribe from some list;
(b) Programs can be written to perform list handling
(smart mail clients - "press this button to unsubscribe")
(c) Smart list users won't need to keep the initial
"welcome" message from the list to ensure that they
know how to unsubscribe or whatever.
Q: Does anyone know which MLM software supports
these headers (or alternatively definitely doesn't support
them yet)?
