Where this appears, if at all, depends on your email client program. In my
program no such 'clickable' material appears.

What is referred to is the RFC-2369 email headers:
>List-Help: <http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=LSTOWN-L>,
> <mailto:[log in to unmask] LSTOWN-L>

Yes, the #1 and #2 are these 2 lines:
>List-Help: <http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=LSTOWN-L>,
> <mailto:[log in to unmask] LSTOWN-L>
>But that is not what is sent, which is INFOLSTOWN-L
Again, this seems to depend on your email client program. In my program, I
get exactly what you might expect
To: [log in to unmask]
msg body:
INFO LSTOWN-L
You could also argue that line 2 should read:
> <mailto:[log in to unmask]>
(the 'space' is URL-encoded as its hex equivalent '%20') and that URL also
works correctly for my email client program.
