Right.  This has been discussed more than once in the past.  If anyone 
is curious to get a better understanding of the previous debate and the
reasons this has not been implemented, I suggest researching the mail
archives.  It's all there.

Bjoern's notion is the correct one though.  There's no need to provide
even more list specific information in the email headers to allow someone
to do proper filtering.  Since that's the case, changes like those 
requested will not be forthcoming.

Sorry if this stance causes difficulties for some individuals on this
list.
