But I have a clear policy line in mind from participating in the list-managers listserv and working on the infrastructure to serve the lynx developer-and-user community that says things like list-added footers can be done in a way which is an appropriate part of the deal of the group use of the list distribution as group infrastructure. It's not a random email message, it is a submission to a group discussion. If it comes back with pro-forma value added from the infrastructure, there is no reason that shouldn't be part of the deal, the bylaws governing group participation. There is a strict rule about not corrupting or hiding the originator's Message-ID: header, which Lyris fell afoul of. But there are plenty of legitimate ways to make value-added wrappings or annotations part of the distributed package.
