No, they should not.  Received: fields are being used to avoid mail loops.
If you include Received fields that were on the mail already, it is not
unlikely that the mail will not reach some of the subscribers.
Besides, it would be a waste of bandwidth, and perhaps giving away
sensitive information (in some applications).

Room for disagreement here?  (BTW it was the CREN listproc that has this
option, not the CERN listproc <doh!>, and another list subscriber 
wrote privately that majordomo has the capability on a switch)  Archives 
work too.
