For what it's worth, I use Outlook to read this list, and I prefer not having some fixed text in the subject line. Much as I dislike Outlook, I'm surprised that you find this to be a problem. I have a rule that puts all the messages from this list into their own folder, which works great for me (I can then archive that folder on a different schedule to my other folders, and all the messages are grouped nicely together). Looking at the rules wizard, you could "perform a custom action", "run a script", "flag message with a colored flag" or "assign it to a specific category" (among many other options), any of which sound like they provide other ways of easily finding the messages in this list. Of course if I'm searching for something that may have been discussed on the list, I'll tend to go to the web anyway because I know that the archive there is more complete than the one on my local machine :-) The Lookout search plugin for Outlook allows me to easily search within a specific folder if I'm looking for something I remember seeing. As for the list itself, this is one of the most helpful lists I've found.
