Exactly. Especially to see which are cross-posted.

Yes. Less a problem, of course, for people who only have or regularly
use a single computer, with fixed mail settings of their own choice,
more a problem for people sharing with friends or family or moving
around a lot. But, as I said, not really such a big problem for most
IETF users, since most other lists dealing with related subjects are
tagged.
I now suggest we end this thread, unless the listowner has something
to say anent it.
