Not strange, the mail wasn't from the list, why should it have a List-Id
header.

There are mail readers that can do this automatically for you ("follow
parent" or similar feature).  You should be able to tweak procmail to
do this also.

And yes, I can tweak procmail to strip the extra stuff, but it shouldn't
be there in the first place.  Next thing you know, bloat will become so
ingrained that you'll find some companies adding 100-line disclaimers
on the bottom of all outgoing email and folks sending text/plain+text/html
multipart email. ;-)
