Duncan Hill sent out a nice summary of why this might NOT be the
most logical approach earlier today. See the "Re: Subject prefix
on the new list", and I'll defer to his expertise on the merits of
the approach.

For those with "challenged" clients (myself included), a very easy
solution -- without asking the list to conform to the
lowest-common-denominator client -- is to use the same procmail
used for filtering spamassassin to modify headers to suit my own
personal tastes.

Here's an example (actually a couple of my existing recipes
combined):

# NEW sa-talk list
:0 fw
* ^Subject:\/.*
* ^List-Id: .*spamassassin\.apache\.org
| formail -i "Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" \
    -I "Subject: [SA-Talk-My-Way] - $MATCH"

The beauty is you can have the tag use whatever you want so things
line up nicely in the OE screen when sorted, or use SHORTER tags.

I actually strip subject tags OUT of messages (along with
excessive Re:, Fwd:), since I'd rather have the screen space tell
me more about the contents of a message.
