If you're going to participate in mailing lists, experience has proven
that It Would Be Good If you didn't do it from an email account with
such a tag appended to messages, as it can, among other things, call
into question the legality of online archives of such messages.  Some
mailing lists will simply unsubscribe you.

So, the alternatives seem to be a) participate using a non-work account
(which deprives the company of some positive exposure -- assuming that's
what you generate ;-) or b) convince The Powers That Be to let you
remove the message when the traffic is headed to a mailing list.

(This is the long version of JP's response. :-)
