I hope I'm reading this right; may I infer that these headers will be supressable on a per-list basis?

I run a number of lists for a non-profit professional organization with over 1000 members. Most of the lists are standard Mailman lists, meaning subscribers can self-administer them; the List-* headers are fine for these.

But some of the lists are regenerated monthly from the membership database (I do sync_members manually every month on these). Subscribers cannot self-administer these lists, and I would just as soon not give them pointers to features which will not work.

Thanks,
