I'm not entirely surprised to hear that there are some unix-based mail 
clients that support that, but I suspect that's not a particularly 
interesting bit of data.  I wasn't asking for suggestions for *ME* to be 
able to switch to a List-*:-savvy mail client, but rather in the context 
of our being list managers whether the members of our lists that CAN do 
that form much more than a set of measure zero.

Chuq: you administer [or at least used to] Apple mailing lists with 
hundreds of thousands of subscribers.  Is there a commonly used mailer in 
the Apple world that handles the List-* headers?

I don't think that any of the common [or even uncommon] MUAs in the 
Windows world handle it..

And so I think that we're just nowhere near the time to be able to talk 
about actually *USING* those headers in any serious way for real-world 
mailing lists, wouldn't you say?  As was pointed out, LOTS of folk use 
MUAs that can't even _filter_ on those headers, much less actually 
*support* them as they were intended...
