[Mailman-Users] Headers _within_ digests

A typical Mailman list digest will start each post message with the following:

Message: 1
Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2005 17:49:01 -0500
From: List Subscriber <listsubscriber at thierdomain.tld>
Subject: Re: [listname] A clever subject line
To: listname at mydomain.ltd
Message-ID: <6c32a89a946c1bcd25c4f2bc7090d391 at theirdoamain.tld>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed

This is, to me, Too Much Information! Do we really need to know the
content type? And surely we know where the message was sent to?

I subscribe to a list which runs on LetterRip Pro and only includes the
"Subject:", "Date:" and "From:" headers, thus making the digest much
easier to read. I can quickly see the information which matters when
digesting a digest!

I'd like to clean up the digests my lists send. I wonder how to do remove
the "Message-ID:" and  "Content-Type:" from the digest messages I send?

Many thanks.
