I had a look see on what this was all about.
Two things:
The Bat would have to support the necessary user interface enhancements
to make use of these mailing list specific header entries for handling
subscriptions etc.
The next thing is that this method doesn't really affect the whole
business of repetition now does it? The repeated stuff (URLS's and mail:to's
for subscription purposes) is just being moved from the text body to the
headers. One is readily visible. The other isn't. :)
However, since the headers will not be padded by the instructions around
the URL's, I guess it is better than nothing from a bandwidth conserving
POV. I also agree and endorse the idea mostly from the angle from which it
is primarily intended and that's to make things easier for the user through
the provision of a consistent interface to subscribe/ unsubscribe etc. from
the various mailing lists.
