Russell:

This is my point with headers in Thunderbird.  You cannot just turn on the 
Delivered-to: lines, you have to look at the entire header area.  With 
Earthlink, this can be more than the header buffer in Thunderbird can show
and there is no method of scrolling.

I tend to look for [Moderated] with no subject line or [Moderated] ENTER SUMMARY
HERE.  This marks the message, in most cases, as coming from an unsubscribed
person or address.

In any case, I also make it a point to reply using the originator's address in 
the 
Cc area and a short reminder to reply only to the list.
