What needs adjusting? Using an MUA which doesn't suck.... I think some
versions of Outlook do generate the proper headers, but I imagine it's
based on version #, as opposed to being a configurable setting. The Mac
version (which is much better behaved in general) does.

I'm pretty sure there isn't. A lot of MUAs can do this; it probably
wouldn't be a bad idea, but could cause unexpected problems (like when
people send messages to the list with generic subject lines).
