Pray tell.. do you know of a reliable programmatic way to detect
that a given message came from a list, and therefor should not be
vacation-replied to?   If so, please share, so that the world may
benefit ;)

Only half a smiley here - you can do a lot with *some* list-handling
software, since they leave certain headers in the mail.  However,
there isn't an across-the-board "standard" in the RFC sense on this...
