Personally, I'm ABSOLUTELY against it. I use evolution, mail, pine, and 
thunderbird.
Sometimes I over IMAP, sometimes POP, sometimes neither.  Some I have procmail 
some I don't.

I can't stand seeing nothing useful in subject as you only get like 80 
characters or less
in the command line tools -- even the guis unless you have a high resolution or 
large monitor
and expand the window forever, you still can't see it.

Also, I only know of -commits lists and [EMAIL PROTECTED] that does this at the 
ASF.
I go to "great" lengths to strip them out when I've procmail available.

Finally, being a -dev list most people here while called users of the API would 
be technically
inclined.

Next you know, they'll be asking we can allow html messages for my fancy web 
based interfaces to render....


Just my 2cents.
