doesn't make anyones life harder

it hinders readability, esp. on small screens
it hinders sorting of mail by subject
it gets messed up with conversations involving multiple lists
it's a pain to write filters to take the stuff out...

bandwidth is not the issue.

Please consider this as someone who thinks it is a good idea because
some people want it 

not everything that some people want is a good idea.  

regardless if they can jump through 10 more
hoops and get the same functionality with filters (on what ? 

return-path.  it's required to be there, you know...

- I hate
it when people bcc: mailing lists and you loose the from/cc field
containing the mailing list you are filtering on)

that's because you're using the wrong fields.  nothing in the mail
standards has ever required every recipient to appear in a to or cc field.
