I'm not going to use the ultra-spartan "Brief" style just because a 
handful of people think wasting header space with List-* headers is a 
leet idea. I'll rather patch KMail. The problem is that the majority of 
KMail users don't know how to do this.

Yes, the Grantlee template system.

I agree.

I could live with that.

KMail also has nice mailing list management features, but they are bound 
to folders and thus only useful if one has one folder per mailing list.
