Also, for anyone using an e-mail client that doesn't make the user beg
and plead with it to be able to see the headers, the following lines at
towards the end of the header on EVERY POST to the list:

    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/>

Just WHY are people nowadays so ignorant about message headers?
