Checking mailing list headers...yep, the "forum-of-origin" type hint
is already present in standards-compliant fashion defined by
RFC4021[1]:

List-Id: General discussion list for the Python programming language
 <python-list.python.org>
List-Unsubscribe: <https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-list>,
 <mailto:python-list-request at python.org?subject=unsubscribe>
List-Archive: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/>
List-Post: <mailto:python-list at python.org>
List-Help: <mailto:python-list-request at python.org?subject=help>
List-Subscribe: <https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list>,
 <mailto:python-list-request at python.org?subject=subscribe>

Just need a mail client that knows about standards and isn't
fettered. ;-)
