Since this is a spam help list, and this is a problem, is there any consideration to use a mailing list software that
you can specify a "list subject" for to make this easier?


I'm pretty surprised I haven't seen anyone else giving feedback on this.

RTFA (read the fine Archives)

This was debated, and voted on by the list subscribers shortly after the list converted to apache.org. Majority won.

further debate on the issue likely to be unwelcome, as it's unlikely to raise any points that were not raised in the original debate which consisted of hundreds of messages. If you've read the archives of it all and still feel you have a significant point not previously raised, it might be worth posting, but this is doubtful.

software with lousy user interfaces does not constitute a significant point, IMO.

If you need to hack subject lines, do it locally via procmail or some such thing. It's pretty simple to do and the list itself adds plenty of identifiable message headers that any worthwhile tool can filter on and trigger a subject-line tag insertion.
