I think something like a X-FreeBSD-List-Mark with date and sender of the message would be real nice for filtering. If you knew that it was always there in all mails from the lists, and it had a datestamp and all. Even if the indexing engine has to do major header parsing anyway, then at least people's filter wouldn't have to. That'd be nice, no? /Mikael
