Some mailing lists do that.  We have decided not to do that on ours.
The issue will not be revisited, period.

Understood.  You would also be able to tell the same thing if you used a
rule or filter in your email program to put messages with certain values
in separate folders.  For example, any email you receive that includes a
List-Id: field with "fedora-docs-list at redhat.com" in it, is not spam.
It is a message from this list.  Make that filter in your email client,
and you will be on the road to spam-free enjoyment of this list.

That's great.  You can have it work even better by taking the above
recommendations.
