A number of Unix MTAs such as mutt and exmh have support a tri-state
reply function by adding a List-Reply capability when RFC 2369
headers are found.  (Under exmh here it even adds a new GUI button
and menu with all the 2369 controls for post, subscrube, unsubscribe
etc)

When AOL et al will catch up is another question, especially given
their market driven focus on reduced complexity.
