I hope you're not in the minority!
Mailing list software that mangles the subject header annoys me even
more than mailing list software that adds an extra "signature" at the
end of the body of the message. Such information is almost redundant
and is always very anoyning, unnecessary, and distracting.
If this abundance of information in *standard* headers isn't enough for
people to sort/filter/re-file with, then I STRONGLY suggest that those
people get a clue and try to find a more capable mail reader!!!!

Yeah, that'll work! ;-) We'll flood the list with so much meta-noise
that the people with lame mailers unable to handle it will unsubscribe! ;-)
