I agree with your assessment of why many people don't use it. It's also
the case that some webmail systems (e.g. Gmail) don't even support it --
in fact they seem to have few features for mailing list support. However
I was mainly wondering why no-one on this particular thread (which is
after all about mailing lists) has mentioned it either. Looks like even
knowledgeable users don't know about it, despite the List-* headers
being a standard.
