Actually, in MM 2.1.6 and newer that is called OLD_STYLE_PREFIXING and
is the default. See

This is the new style and is required when the prefix contains a message
number as in [List %d]. This is because it makes no sense for message #
123 which is a reply to message # 121 to say 'Re: [List 123] ...

In MM 2.1 you could chose this style without numbering messages in the
prefix by setting OLD_STYLE_PREFIXING = No. In MM 3, there is no longer
any OLD_STYLE_PREFIXING.

reader users to identify whether the message is a new message or a
reply.  Its not just one or two people either, though a lot of the
people just don't like change which is one factor.


This seems like an accessibility issue. There is an open issue on this
at <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues/153>. I just now tagged
that with 'accessibility' and added your note.
