+Mailman - The GNU Mailing List Management System
+Copyright (C) 2001 by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA
+
+INTRODUCTION
+
+    Mailman is compliant with RFC 2369, which specifies a number of
+    List-* headers that mailing list management software should add to
+    every outbound email message.  These headers are designed to make
+    it easy for mail user agents (MUAs) to assist users in common
+    mailing list tasks, such as getting help or unsubscribing.
+
+    At this time, not all MUAs understand the RFC 2369 headers, and
+    instead of suppressing those List-* headers, they show them to the
+    user.  Many list managers report that this can generate a large
+    amount of support requests from their user base.
+
+    In Mailman 2.0, you cannot turn off the List-* headers without
+    hacking the Mailman source.  Because these headers are in the
+    long-term benefit of end-users, it is strongly encouraged to leave
+    these headers in and lobby the MUA vendors to support them.  In
+    the meantime, you can provide your users with the following
+    information to help them suppress these headers.
+
+
+EUDORA USERS
+
+    Mike Noyes provides the following suggestion:
+
+    You can hide the new list headers. Edit your Eudora.ini file, and
+    add this line under [settings].
+
+    TabooHeaders=List,X-UID,Received,Status,X-UIDL,Message,In-Reply, \
+    X-Priority,Mime-Version,Content,X-Persona,Resent-Message,References, \
+    Return,X400,X-400,Mail-System,Errors-To,X-List,Delivery,Disposition, \
+    X-Juno,Precedence,X-Attachments,X-MSMail,X-MimeOLE,X-Nav
+
+    note: everything other than "List" is the default
