Presumably somebody bounced me a copy. But this isn't directly
relevant. Consider what the people who receive my mail, via the list,
will receive, and what their clients will do if they ignore M-F-T and

In fact, expand my original question: How do you tell, from the List-*
headers, whether the *sender* is subscribed to the mailing list?
