Jim, what's the point of this "CDR: " header on the postings from ssz.com?
If somebody wants to filter mail from different lists, they can set up
something on their side, like procmail, and filter based on the "Sender:"
line.
To be frank, the tag is annoying, breaks message sorting, and generally
looks really bad.

There's two ways I can answer this:
1. I do it for a variety of reasons. One is that it makes visual
scanning of titles (which doesn't necessarily include who it was
sent to) easier so that prioritizing viewing can be helped.
2. Like I give a fuck what you find annoying or aestheticaly pleasing,
and if it breaks your filtering then fix your filtering (that after
all is a personal problem).
Pick whichever one you find most acceptable.
Have a nice day.
