That's really offensive, and I would eliminate any product that
did that from consideration unless it were very easy to turn that 
feature off.  (I'm assuming this is the case, since a list server
that does not make it easy for the list manager or site manager 
to configure outgoing headers exactly the way they want them is basically
worthless.)

Do you realize that this basically breaks all incoming mail filtering
that sorts messages based on recipient headers?  You're requiring list
managers to invent/insert a special header showing the list name 
in order to allow people to do the perfectly normal kind of filtering
that they've done for years. 

(I also strongly agree with Roger Klorese that "To:" lines should
not be tampered with gratuitously in any case.)
