FWIW, even those messages still don't have similar-"looking" headers that
the regular list messages have.  A fairly simple procmail recipe happens to
catch those and put them in a "these are automated messages but not from
a mailing list" folder for me.  So my gcc*-list mailboxes are fine, and
spam relayed through the gcc newsgroups still gets caught and put aside.

That may not be feasible for the list servers, but it is a simple solution
for those readers who are bothered by spam (for example, me).
