The last two ideas are really dangerous, given the very high volume of this list, a lot
of people is subscribed to the digest version of the list (myself included), and that
break the association between header and reference. The issue of being subscribed to the
digest was discussed in november.
So that would mean lot's of people would be marginated to post. Also, each MUA handles 
things sightly different and making post acceptance rules so strict would have a terrible
effect.
