The semantics of what you just posted are "I would like Mailman to
impose and maintain a hack appropriate to my site on all users of this
facility." I see the attraction of this proposal for a fair number of
users like you, and it's precisely what open source is for: you can
maintain your own variant, in cooperation with those other users.
But when I suggested a 50% solution would be good enough, the 50% I
meant was precisely what you're leaving out: a specification of the
syntax (you deliberately leave the syntax vague!) and semantics of the
data that Mailman passes to the MTA.
