This is one of their ideological hot buttons - you're not supposed to WANT to turn them off. :)
Back in the real world - go to $base/Mailman/Handlers/CookHeaders.py - down in the last few lines - and look for a line saying
msg[h] = v
Comment that out with a # at the beginning of the line, and the headers are toast. I never bothered to code a fancier patch to let you control it list by list in the web interface, but that's a doable project.

In 2.1 you can go into mm_cfg.py and break RFC2369 compliance by setting ALLOW_RFC2369_OVERRIDES to 1. That'll enable a policy at your site that list owners can turn it off, which will cause the cgi scripts to display that as an option for them.

Quite the contrary, RFC2369 says
Implementing these fields will be optional.
Therefore, by adding a manager's option for those headers instead of trying to force them on everyone, Mailman 2.1 has finally been brought into RFC2369 compliance. Thanks for the reminder on this environment variable, I hadn't reviewed that part of the 2.1 config yet. My patch works under 2.0.8 and similar versions.
