I separate my messages into folders/directories - different ML into different
directories. I filter mail addressed to me into another directory. Well, 
ages ago I got a message from the LAU ML in the 'mail addressed to me' folder
(either because it was CC'd or addressed to me and the List CC'd) so I
deleted it because I read all my list mail in the ML directory. Well,
guess what. It wasn't there!! :(  

I was informed I had to change a setting in the ML options -- how stupid
is that!!

No other list I'm on requires you to do this!! Apparently, it's to cater
for Windoze users who don't filter their mail and will be confused
getting two copies of the same message in their in-box! WTF!!

So the default is to possibly miss a message. :/

The default should be to *always* honour the headers.
