I'm starting to get one of these with every Digest sent out for one of my 
lists, which has a member @gateway.com.

My questions are:
 (a) is it appropriate for them to be emitting these out for Digests that 
arrive with "Precedence: bulk"?
 (b) What happens if everybody starts doing this?

I didn't message Gateway's postmaster, btw, because I don't want them 
collaring some poor shlub in Accounts Receivable and demanding to know why 
she/he is using company computers to read a non-work related Digest.  This 
is its own meta-problem for many of us, I suspect.
