  I concur with the desirability of a new header for lists to use to
identify themselves as distributors of mail.  I believe, however, that it's
the fact that it's *LIST* mail (as contrasted to individually addressed
mail) that's the key item, so I'd recommend including the word "list" in
any such header.  I'd think Jacob's
        Mailing-List
suggestion for the header name is a good one.  I suspect that Robert Elz is
right about ths being a topic for a mailing-list group, however.
