Do you also complain when you get gzipped transfer encoded HTTP
responses from servers?

Okay, I filed the following bug report with Google Mail:
"Please support the List-Post header (see RFC 2369) such that when I

Well I didn't refuse in perpetuity throughout the universe, just

patient enough to find out :-)

heard of this bug before at any rate.
