I am still reading my mail with a text only mailreader e.g. mutt. I have a 80x25 terminal typically - If you only add a "[bird] " so the subject line you are claiming ~9% of MY visible line-space. It might be that your Full-HD display with your graphical mail reader offers gazillion columns for subject but there are a lot of underfunded, underequipped people out there who like to preserve their screen space for more essential information than a simple marker. I read probably 80-100 Mailinglists and i have procmail to sort my mails into folder. Beeing in the bird folder will show me only bird mails - so there is no point in adding a subject-tag for me.
