Looks like I didn't wait long enough then - I've only been
subscribed since Jan 25th..

Is there a list FAQ I should have consulted - I didn't find one on
	http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/

That is usually the best way to avoid having the same questions
asked over and over..

Alternatively, is there a searcheable archive? 

I did browse the archive, but certainly not exhaustively, and
didn't spot anything relevent.

I also checked the welcome messgage sent after subscribing, but
didn't see any mention of FAQs or archive searches to consult
before posting..

It seems you are right, in as much as there is an L command that appears
to be intended to deal with lists, but on your message it just gives me

	No mailing lists found!

There is nothing incorrect in my headers as far as I know, but I do
use a 'Reply-to:' to make sure that mail goes to my mailbox rather
than just back to wherever I happened to originate a message from...

Perhaps that causes your MUA to behave differently for some reason?
