No. (Not that I'm the list admin, though I run other lists.)

Perhaps his mail client is deficient.

He's not coming at it from that angle. He's got a mail reader in front
of him. Most GUI reader show this multicolumn index area with subject,
from, date and a few other things.
To the naive user, all he/she has to play with is the "click on the
column heading to sort on that column".
Mark,
I suggest you either:
Look at your mail reader's filtering options; most users usually filter
mailing list email into a different folder (I put a lot of unix/linux
lists into a folder called "unix"). Your mail reader should be able
to do that for you automatically with a little setup.
Look at your mail reader's "View" options; you may be able to get a column
shown for some other header (eg reply-to, or effective reply address).
Cheers,
