Oh, please.  Lets not get snide about this.  We are talking about a very 
specific set of headers and you know it.

We are talking about a set of headers that have their basis in RFC 
2369.  RFC 2369 is a *Proposed* Standard.  It isn't even a Draft Standard, 
which is the phase that it will have to go through next before it can 
become a Standard Protocol.  Even if it is eventually adopted as a Standard 
Protocol it will be *optional*.  Even the authors of RFC 2369 agree that 
the use of these particular headers should be *optional* on a *per-list* basis.

This simply doesn't compare to arbitrarily eliminating RFC 822 headers 
which are *required* by accepted standards.
