Hi *,
Well me like most (if not all) of you use power things like Unix :)
and there we run procmail to filter etc. Many of us have recipes
that make use of Extended Headers such as X-To, X-MailList etc etc.
[description of how now all mail clients can easily manipulate arbitrary
headers]
...
Beyond the solution of changing mail clients, have you considered that
there may be other ways to do what you want than using X-Foo headers?
If this is an official work related mailing list setup then you should
be able to get at least token management support to bludgeon/request
your sysadmin into providing *some* support, if just a global alias or
two pointing to an installation of Smartlist in your own account.
Other solutions include putting the info in the Subject: in some
predefined format:
Subject: ML: bobs-list# the real subject here
or
Subject: the real subject ML: bobs-list
The latter even correctly propagates the mailing list selection to replies,
something which X-foo headers do not do.
