All except ones that are dangerous to the list, like X-Confirm-Reading and
other such garbage.  Given that Majordomo comes as source, it is completely
up to the site owner to change this behavior.  Header removal is currently
not a per-list-settable item.  (Though it is in development versions.)

The default list of stripped headers is:

$skip_headers =  '/^from /i' . 
                 '|| /^x-confirm-reading-to:/i' . # pegasus mail (windoze)
                 '|| /^x-ack:/i' .
                 '|| /^sender:/i' .
                 '|| /^return-receipt-to:/i' .
                 '|| /^errors-to:/i' . 
                 '|| /^flags:/i' .
                 '|| /^resent-/i' .
                 '|| /^priority/i' .
                 '|| /^x-pmrqc:/i' .
                 '|| /^return-path:/i' .
                 '|| /^encoding:/i'               # could munge the length of the message
                 ;
