    and just how is an algorithm supposed to detect that
    <jeff-kell () utc edu> is a single human and not a list?

It is really too bad that there is not place to put a "precedence"
that the software could key on--with values like "bulk" or "junk" or
"list".

Headers of your message include:

Precedence: list
List-Id: North American Network Operators Group <nanog.nanog.org>
List-Unsubscribe: <http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/options/nanog>,
 <mailto:nanog-request () nanog org?subject=unsubscribe>
List-Archive: <http://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/>
List-Post: <mailto:nanog () nanog org>
List-Help: <mailto:nanog-request () nanog org?subject=help>
List-Subscribe: <http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog>,
 <mailto:nanog-request () nanog org?subject=subscribe>
Errors-To: nanog-bounces+jeff-kell=utc.edu () nanog org
Return-Path: nanog-bounces+jeff-kell=utc.edu () nanog org

Proper mail clients can provide "list links" based on the List- headers,
but few if any actually do.

So take your pick, but my point remains, it still retains:

And I'm nowhere mentioned.  I only appear in the "envelope RCPT TO:<>
RFC821 header", nowhere in the RFC822 header.

It's not rocket science if you have headers available (which even
Outlook can see, although you have to jump through a few hoops to see them).
