sure,

In a world of TLA [1] and TLAs [2] I prefer immediately obvious Mail Headers
intended for Human reading.

Sure, my mailserver dumps everything into one folder anyway, but that's not the
case for everybody.

Point is, "HS" carries so little Information, I would prefer you strip the tag
completely and we all just rely on the List-ID Header.

I think computer technology has progressed to the point, were it is now
generally accepted praxis to spare a few bytes per message if that improves
human computer interaction. ;->

At a frequeny of 100 mails per day (judging liberally from the last few days) ,
10bytes per message might save 3megabytes over the next 10 years.


Having said that, I won't object to trying it out, but I think there's no good
reason for it.
