You may put it on body text (greetings).
Threading mode makes us seeing this more easy.

Sorry I beg to differ, I found it's still disturb other member who use
other mailer that have "List Management" feature such Pine, Mutt :-(
On other Mailing List, I found Pine or Mutt users replied my posting
with "His Own Name on List Name <List_address>" or IOW his mailer keep
"our fancy" Real Name part intact, this is ridiculous and makes really
annoying other members :-(

Why annoying ?
>From my POV, the the positive think about "Real Name part
<List_Address>" only :
1. We know someone replied our thread or replied our post.
2. We can make "greetings" more fancy.
IMHO, point number 1 above is the job of Thread Watcher (on the wish
list). Point number 2 is subjective, on Discussion List members tend
to see what's the content more than greetings.
