It would also be helpful if the fact that the message is from the mailing list were 
identifiable by a formatted subject field - this would allow Outlook users (and 
others) to divert the message to a folder more reliably  (If anyone has a reliable 
rule I'd love to see it).

        I get this

        [ Note: This message contains email list management information ]

        at the bottom of each message, as a hyperptext link (I use Pine).  If I
        open the link, it tells me everyhting I need to know about how to manage
        my subscription.  Does anyone else get that?
