;-)

i know that - but i would say 98% of email users don't. i bet most of them
never even have seen a true email header. i know you've been on this list
long enough to know how many times this question comes up brian  ;-)

Might I suggest that you raise your eyes UPwards (not easy, I know, when
one is "blessed" with using
 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1158
instead of a proper Mail User Agent).  If you look amongst all the
headers, on *every* post to this list, you will find:

 Reply-To: xitami@lists.xitami.org
 List-Help: <mailto:xitami-request@lists.xitami.org?subject=help>
 List-Post: <mailto:xitami@lists.xitami.org>
 List-Subscribe: <http://lists.xitami.org/mailman/listinfo/xitami>,
                 <mailto:xitami-request@lists.xitami.org?subject=subscribe>
 List-Id: Xitami Users General Discussion <xitami.lists.xitami.org>
 List-Unsubscribe: <http://lists.xitami.org/mailman/listinfo/xitami>,

<mailto:xitami-request@lists.xitami.org?subject=unsubscribe>
 List-Archive: <http://lists.xitami.org/pipermail/xitami/>

Such information has traditionally been included in the headers of most
proper mailing lists for at least the 23 years I've been using them.
Proper MUAs make it easy for the user to see such pertinent information.

YMMV.

   fix (vb.): 1. to paper over, obscure, hide from public view; 2. to
   work around, in a way that produces unintended consequences that are
   worse than the original problem.  Usage: "Windows ME fixes many of the
   shortcomings of Windows 98 SE".
