Where MUA = Mail User Agent, i.e. the actual program that you use to 
read your emails - like Thunderbird, Outlook, GMail (really, the browser 
you use to open gmail.com), etc.

Indeed - for folks who use Thunderbird (like I do), I posted 
instructions on how to setup mail filters based on headers.

Given the broad reach (both users and developers) and new community 
around AOO, it would be awesome to post a page on the AOO site with tips 
on how to manage mail subscriptions at Apache.  Some projects have tips 
like this, but they're normally developer-focused, and the average user 
probably has no clue what a mua is.

Huh.  The Jakarta mailing list guidelines page is a fairly good overview 
that's not too technical about list etiquette that might be worth 
copying parts of:

   http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail.html

I don't remember if we have a specific page that details how our ezmlm 
sets headers by default (remember, each project may configure various 
lists slightly differently), but I wish I had time to crib a list of 
some of the important headers, like the discussion here about "moderator 
for" (knowing if a post comes from a subscriber will be important in AOO!).
