Hmmm ....

I wonder if most/any vacation programs out there today look for 
"Precedence: list"?

Historically, vacation only looked for "Precedence: bulk" or 
"Precedence: junk".

This is apparently true of the "current" version -- as in the version 
currently distributed with the latest complete release of Free BSD. Or 
at least that is the way it is documented.
