It is when it comes to mailing lists. With the number of people who claim to be hackers using it, I'm amazed if it still hasn't got List-* headers supported. Having to tell it what is a list post by reading the to-line is so 1980s... nearly as much fun as procmail.
Ahh!, but remember the basic ideas behind unix are of 1970's vintage (nostalgia strikes!) so its got a way to go yet:o)
But it is irritating how 'badly behaved' even some of the most sophisticated mail-readers are. I use MS Outlook here at work and that's a complete pile of No.2s (I'd hesitate to even call it a mail reader). At home I use Sylpheed and even that throws the odd wobbler.
I've just learned not to trust the technology! (much) :o)
