Most of them were defined in RFC 2369 in 1998, List-ID by RFC 2919 in 2001.  

Lots of mail programs recognize them and do something with them, but
for some reason not Thunderbird.

Thunderbird seems sort of stuck, getting upgrades thrown over the wall from
the Firefox project but still missing some fairly basic stuff like the list
headers.
