That's correct.

Really a pity.

It should be possible to script that, using e.g. formail to extract the
list id.=A0

But this would be done=A0outsid= e the batch tagging - correct?=A0

I think tagging = based on a header would be a powerful and useful feature, especially for ta= gging of lists.

I mean, if the script would be complex, it might be eas= ier to use afew.

Be aware that the list-id header is often not really suitable
for use as a tag, since it has quotes, spaces, and various punctuational in it. I guess you can make that work if you really want to.

A cleaning would then be necessary, but it is not relevan= t to have the exact header as the tag.
