Or LookOut for that matter. I would not expect it to, because I don't need to 
see the complete set of headers for *every* message.

However, when I look in the headers for some of the lists I inhabit, I see 
things like:

List-Unsubscribe:
    <mailto:sympa@linux-mandrake.com?subject=unsubscribe%20cooker>

Return-Path:
    <conf-request@plug.linux.org.au>

Return-Path:
    <errorsphpclasses=leon.brooks.fdns.net@bounce.phpclasses.org>

Return-Path:
    <owner-sword-devel@www.crosswire.org>

List-Unsubscribe:
    <http://uninetsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/[listname]>,
    <mailto:[listname]-request@uninetsolutions.com?subject=unsubscribe>


...and the like. The headers are the first place I turn.

OBTW, and...

X-Preferred-File-Formats:
    ASCII text .html .pdf .ps .dvi .bz2 .gz .tar .zip Star and K Office.
    Please no MS Office documents unless absolutely necessary -- see
    http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html for more details.

The RainingData-nee-Pick Linux list has a footer:
