LOL.  Of course with mailman there's a simple checkbox to include (or
not) rfc2369 headers (see below).  Theoretically this should help.  Of
course enabling it will result in list users have a spaz, since it ends
being top posted for every mail for far to many users. 

Thanks Clifford for reminding me that laugh.

include_rfc2369_headers (general): Should messages from this mailing
list include the RFC 2369 (i.e. List-*) headers? Yes is highly
recommended.

RFC 2369 defines a set of List-* headers that are normally added to
every message sent to the list membership. These greatly aid end-users
who are using standards compliant mail readers. They should normally
always be enabled. 

However, not all mail readers are standards compliant yet, and if you
have a large number of members who are using non-compliant mail readers,
they may be annoyed at these headers. You should first try to educate
your members as to why these headers exist, and how to hide them in
their mail clients. As a last resort you can disable these headers, but
this is not recommended (and in fact, your ability to disable these
headers may eventually go away).
