I guess that is open to debate, but I would not want to have headers
name translated when I ask to see all header (a feature useful mostly to
power users anyway).  I would not, for example, want to have X-Spam to
be translated to X-Pourriel, or X-Priority to be translated to
X-Priorité.

IMHO, MIME::Headers::listHeaders() should return the untranslated name
of List-* headers.  I can't tink of any good reasons to do it otherwise.
