You have completely missed the point; a list owner doesn't know
what the author desires -- merely having a list of potential
authors doesn't help.
No, you have completely missed the point. If the author has some special
requirements of his own, he will include his own MFT (whatever) header,
and the list owner will do nothing further. We were discussing the case
where the author (through ignorance or laziness) did nothing and left it
to the list owner to supply a sensible default, consistent with the
culture of the list.
