It will never be true of a stock Mailman. (For git geeks: GitLab's problem is that removing such information at minimum changes the SHA1 of that commit, and all descendent commits, completely rewriting that part of the DAG. Mailman doesn't have such an integrity check on threads, although perhaps DKIM signatures could be abused that way. :-) However, in some cases it might be a severe inconvenience for users, etc. Be careful not to overstate your wording here. And consult a lawyer if you have a business interest in your lists.
