Patch to suppress List-* headers on a per-list basis (was Re: [Mailman-Users] Help )

[Lewis Lau]

Hi Bob,

I did the similar thing on mailman as well, that I hack the CookHeaders.py 
a little bit to remove the "List-Post", "List-Subscribe" and 
"List-Unsubscribe" mail headers. But can you tell me what to do with the 
MailList.py?
