In Calypso, Pegasus, and Pronto (The latter a UN*X client) you only see the info if View FULL Headers is on...which even though I view full headers frequently, I have turned off most of the time due to the fact that Headers are usually longer than the message, and I don't want to have to page through the headers to get to the message. I think it's a crappy place to put the info. I had never seen those fields before on any mailing list until recently. In fact, currently this is the only list I subscribe to that does that, unless the others have changed within the past couple of days...
