Hi,
i understand that using the list-id in the header is the correct thing to
do, and using that id is certainly an elegant way to i.e. automatically
file these messages into its own folder. However setting up filters isn't
sometimes easy or limited and mails end up flat. Please have a look at
this screenshot part:

It must be obvious that a tag *in the subject* can be helpful. If along
"tagged" messages, there are messages from random people with random
subjects, it makes it harder at least in that scenario i'm using mail
(blame on how).
These few additional bytes wouldn't be a waste of anything IMHO. :)
Cheers
Thomas
