At least in the case of Thunderbird, you already have an option:

According to the manual, claws has a whole Message/Mailing-List
submenu with built-in support for this.  (This took me approximately
10 seconds to find through Google.  The claws manual looks pretty
good, I have to say.)

I was unable to find the way to to this in Lookout!  I don't use the
Mac OS Mail client, but a quick look didn't yield anything obvious.
However, these both allow you to look at the raw mail message, which
has the header.

Given that List-Archive was standardized in RFC2369, which came out in
1998, and that virtually every list server software shipping since
about 2000 has it built in and turned on by default, I fail completely
to see how using something as free-form as a signature footer is
supposed to be an improvement.
