[Scott O. Bradner]

Apple mail (at least some versions) tells you if the mail is through a mailing list and asks if you want to unsubscribe

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.
