Honestly I would not like to be bothered by informations which I need once in the lifecycle of a mailing list on my system!
Saying "read the headers" is obviously an approach that does not work.
Some people can't even deal with the rule that you usually get moved if you turn the key in a car. Do you think that the manufacturers should state this somewhere in the car and enshure that you've read it before the engines start? BTW: Even often as userunfriendly blamed mail/news readers like pine make these informations available to and even _usable_ for you without the need to read the headers.
