There's an obvious solution to this problem which

(almost) everyone.
Set up two lists, one with each behavior. Arrange for a single address
to mail postings, which get distributed to both lists. (It would be bad
to have two addresses, as inevitably someone would send the same postings
to both.)
Each individual subscriber can choose which header style he or she desires
by subscribing to the appropriate list.
That's *such* a good idea! I was going to suggest modifying the list server
to have user-settable preferences and giving everyone the exact headers they
want, but no one would ever get around to doing that (certainly not me, any
time soon!). But making it two separate lists would take no time at all...
Plus this flamewar could go away since people wouldn't have to agree after
all!
