I'm not sure. When I look at the Mailman documentation, it's clear 
enough, so it's a feature. But it seems at variance with the other 
applications mentioned.

I was trying to add the header without reading the documentation - 
the other custom header already in my configuration file had a value, so 
I assumed that a value was required. Turned out it was not.

- I realized later that XNA doesn't actually solve my problem; mail 
headers don't get promoted when forwarding mail. I need X-No-Forward...
