PS apologies for posting the same question to this list and the LO list, I just realised it would be more appropriate here.
This is actually pretty trivial to do. You can even get by without learning Python (well, you'll need to know just a smidgen - but there are plenty of examples in Mailman's code).
<This is also discussed quite thoroughly in the archives!>
from ~mailman/Mailman do a grep looking for one of the current headers: grep X-List */*
This will show you every file that handles the X-List headers. You probably just want to edit ~mailman/Mailman/Handlers/CookHeaders.py and add your own. You might want to put in a check that only adds the header to a specific list.
OK, doesn't look too hard. Not exactly the answer I was looking for. A bit of a maintainability nightmare (I assume this means redo it everytime mailman is updated), but c'est la vie.
Is there any reason this feature is not built into mailman?
Cheers David
