[ih] Email behavior (better subject ID...)

[Jack Haverty]

I didn't know about those header fields until you pointed them out. The 
mail app I use (Thunderbird)  doesn't appear to do anything with those 
fields, but I can see them only if I enable "Show All Headers".  That of 
course then makes a whole pageful of obscure stuff appear as visual 
noise.   Perhaps other mail apps are more clever and provide something 
like a set of commands like "Join list" when they see such header 
fields.    Those headers are an example of what I meant as not being 
standardized or widely implemented/adopted.
