Since this G prefix was apparently in response to some people who don't like to filter mail and just have one big "In" mailbox, (as I used to do back about 1993) perhaps a counter example of how it messes up things for me: I do filter all G-list mail to its own folder. Sometimes I let it build up for a few days, then to read the dozens that have accumulated, I sort the new messages by subject to read them threaded. Now I was just doing that, and after a while I realised I was reading question after question and no responses. Eventually I worked out that, while my mail client knows that "Re: my question" is the same subject as "my question", it doesn't if they've been munged into "[G]: my question" and "[G] Re: my question", as the "Re:" has been moved from the beginning of the line.
