If you're the only affected list member, then follow Heiko's advice for
inbound messages.

Ask the list owner before adding such headers to your posts, though. It's
the list owner's policy, and it becomes part of the list culture, which
should be respected. If list members in general don't like it, then set up
a rival list, or lobby the owner to change the policy.
