I think that's a bad idea.  The version string should go in a *-Agent
header, along with the agent's identity.

While I disagree with having Mailman be a User-Agent, I can't actually
say there are useful semantics to having a separate List-Agent.  Nor
do I see a real problem with having multiple User-Agent headers, if
multiple agents have handled the message.
