Subject: Headers
For many years, when I wanted to cite an example of a mailing list
with a particularly specialized focus, I have referred to the
Header-People list, which is devoted exclusively to the discussion of
e-mail headers. I hope it's not a sign of premature triviality that I
find myself posting on the same subject now. There's a recent article
by Adam C. Engst, in the fine TidBITS newsletter, about a new IETF
standard for headers on mail issued by mailing lists, to try and
systematize access to functions like posting and unsubscribing that
vary just a little too much from system to system.

May I suggest that Humanist adopt these headers and support this
worthy initiative?
