Using your same argument from above, why don't they configure their MUA to add the tag? Why should I be forced to change my workflow to strip it? (and the tags are not 'indispensable' for human triage: you can display the To/CC or List-Id headers, which will contain org-mode as well). >> org-mode list email has a List-Id header, the list software has already >> taken care of it for you.

Right, which is why I argue for the minimal simplicity of just setting the header, and letting people take care of anything else they want to do afterwards. Anyway, I think we've reached the end of this discussion, it's definitely not relevant to org-mode anymore. Whoever maintains the list will decide what they prefer.
