I've created a list to sum up the current discussion/threads on the mailman header work.
The list is separated in four sections:
I. CLARIFY Needs discussion.
II. MODIFY Needs to be registered with IETF or changes X- name.
III. KEEP Do not change
VI. DELETE Remove from MM3 code
Please cross-check and pickup discussion on the CLARIFY items. Once we are done I will approach IETF for the headers that need standardizing.
I. CLARIFY X-List-Received-Date This only gets added when the message is sent to the archive. Modify to: List-Archive-Sent Next Step: Discuss
X-Message-ID-Hash propose an RFC as an extension of RFC 5064 Modify to: unclear Next Step: Discuss
X-Mailman-Version The version of Mailman that sent the message. It can lose the X- prefix. Modify to: List-Agent, Mediator Next Step: Discuss
X-Mailman-Approved-At lose the X-prefix Modify to: List-Approved-Date Next Step: Create RFC or Extend RFC 2369?
II. MODIFY X-Mailer Only used when Mailman originates messages such as autoresponses. Modify to: User-Agent Next Step: Change code
X-Topics This contains a list of all the topic names that matched the message. Are there any other MLMs that support topics in a way that would make that header generally useful? Modify to: Tag Next Step: Create RFC
X-Mailman-Rule-Hits They could certainly lose the X- prefix. Modify to: Mailman-Rule-Hits Next Step: Create RFC
X-Mailman-Rule-Misses They could certainly lose the X- prefix. Modify to: Mailman-Rule-Misses Next Step: Create RFC
X-Content-Filtered-By I think this should be renamed to (X-)Mailman-Content-Filter. Modify to: Mailman-Content-Filter Next Step: Create RFC
III. KEEP X-Peer X-MailFrom X-RcptTo Ignore this, it's used in the test suite only. Next Step: Ignore
X-Originally-To Probably not worth changing. Next Step: Ignore
X-Original-CC X-Original-Content-Transfer-Encoding X-MIME-Version Ignore these. Next Step: Ignore
X-Ack X-No-Ack These should keep the X- prefix. Next Step: Ignore
X-Approve X-Approved need to keep the above two for backward compatibility Next Step: Ignore
VI. DELETE X-Mailman-Copy It can either be removed or lose the X- prefix. Next Step: Remove from code
X-BeenThere legacy Next Step: Remove from code
X-Archive X-No-Archive deprecated Next Step: Remove from code
X-List-Administrivia X-List-Administrivia is just useless and should be removed. Next Step: Remove from code
