List headers don't guarantee helping with that, though, either, because many lists will supporess the echo of the list mail to you if you are also mentioned in the addressee headers. Given the prevalence of people using reply-all, that happens often. Then some mail in the discussion arrives in your inbox and other mail arrives in the list box. And yes, this could be alleviated by people replying just to the list, but a lot of mail clients seem not to provide a convenient way to do that. I don't want the additional subject line cruft, but the list headers are not a magic answer.
