I may have said this before, but: too bad there is no standard "List-Rules:" header to provide machine-readable hints, so that a conforming UA could remember them from the subscription response or latest-read message and at least give the user some suggestions. Rules like "no attachments" could be acted on by the UA; rules like "no top-posting" require human judgment but could be advertized by the UI. -- Mark H.
