I doubt the percentage of non-filtering Zope list subscribers is
anywhere near that high (I realize that you're probably
exaggerating). Second, even the minimal amount of headers most mail
readers show by default (To:, Cc:) is enough to filter the lists
out. Filtering on To: and Cc: drops maybe 1 [Zope] message per week
into my regular inbox.

Any way we could set up a poll restricted to mailing list members to
see how many people really care about this subject one way or the
other?
