I can't resist the temptation...

What happens when List-ID is out of date? (Even if changing the id is
strongly discouraged, nothing in the world can prevent it. According to
Murphy's laws, this means some change WILL happen.) What happens if the
instructions in the most recent message the user has received (!= the most
recent message sent) are out of date? :)
