"Correctly"?
A message to a list is 'delivered' to the list. As in, it goes to the
specified addresse... the list. A message from a list has been
re-posted by the list.
There are no constraints on the changes that are permitted to a message,
before it is re-posted. There are no specifications that limit or
direct the behaviors of a list processor.
Different groups want and probably need different behaviors by a list
processor. Periodic efforts to create such constraints have failed.
So while it would certainly make things easier to have list processors
behave in a simple, consistent manner, there's ample evidence that ain't
gonna happen.
If you can link the 'correctly' you are suggesting, to some documented,
community consensus, please cite it.
