To say nothing of the fact that it doesn't conform to RFC 822 or any
other standard on email headers that I know of - I wonder if they even
know that there are standards that describe what one can or cannot
demand of email headers. Ariel, all of this is being forwarded to you:
do you realize that the "Subject" field may not be present at all?
I'd just like to add that I don't think the basic functionality is
all that idiotic, I can't offer any good examples when it is really
useful, but that doesn't mean it isn't useful at all. The
implementation of this "feature" is definitely incompetent, to put
it mildly.

Unsubscribe would work, read-only won't, I think. Your posting will go
to the list, reach Mr. John Dow who was stupid enough to give his
password to Mailpush, and Mailpush will push notification mails to
*you*, not to the list... John Dow doesn't have to have permission to
post to the list.
