An interesting issue came up today while we were playing with a Bayesian spam classifier. Mailman's archives aren't very clean. Messages are sent to the archiver after various headering munging steps, including the adding of the List-* headers and the Subject prefix.
We still want to do some munging, e.g. for anonymous lists. This tells me that we may want to move ToArchive up before CookHeaders in the global pipeline.
I don't think we want to move ToDigest or ToUsenet because I think we /want/ those headers munged before the message is sent to the digests or news server. What do you think?
