The list server software attaches the [Duo] prefix. We've had
various discussions over the years about differentiating specific
messages by Duo vs PB 2400, but the low volume and inability to do in
consistently pretty much abrogated any specific standard being
adopted.
The volume's not that great, though I also prefer subjects that at
least give me a clue as to what the topic is really about. :-)
