The reason why NOT to add it is that it duplicates info already in the header
and reduces the amount of semi-useful info already in the subject.  One
ends up with things like

Subject: [tcl-httpd] Re: [tcl-httpd] Re: [tcl-httpd] Prob

which frankly I find uninformative...  There are lots of ways of dealing
with filtering of email msgs - modifying a user's subject line should be
the course of last resort.

Most mail apps that do filtering can filter on any mail header.  Thus
they can filter on the To and Cc lines, looking for tcl-httpd.
If they can't do that, then most remaining systems can install a user
mail filtering program like the Tcl app Sift-Mail, procmail, mailagent,
etc. which can sort incoming email into separate boxes, add specialize
headers, or even do personalized subject line modifications.
