[FLORA.org HelpDesk] List-Id header in mailing lists.

[Russell McOrmond]

This message is to any of the list managers who are running @flora.org
lists. There is a header that has become quite popular for identifying
what mailing list a message was distributed by. It is used by many people
to filter lists into different folders when they receive them.

I recommend adding this header to the various lists which people manage.
For Majordomo1 it is done using the message_headers option.

# message_headers [string_array] (undef) <resend,digest>
# These headers will be appended to the headers of the posted
# message. The text is expanded before being used. The following
# expansion tokens are defined: $LIST - the name of the current
# list, $SENDER - the sender as taken from the from line, $VERSION,
# the version of majordomo.
message_headers << END
List-Id: <$LIST.flora.org>
END

Forgot to add a URL for the techie types in this list. The RFC
reference was sent by MCR:

Mailing Lists
