Why not 'X-From:' header fields, one for each list, to make it easy
for a script to do something sensible?  Also perhaps also 'X-To' for
to be reliable and easy after forwarding and header munging and body
replacement.  Some "bounces" seem to take the attitude that you better
damn well know who you sent the mail to!
