Really a pity.

But this would be done outside the batch tagging - correct?

I think tagging based on a header would be a powerful and useful feature,
especially for tagging of lists.

I mean, if the script would be complex, it might be easier to use afew.

Be aware that the list-id header is often not really suitable

A cleaning would then be necessary, but it is not relevant to have the
exact header as the tag.
