Administrivia: Subject line tagging

I have a request that I'd like to put up for discussion. I think it 
would be very handy if subject lines of messages sent to/from the 
gnhglug lists were prepended with the list name in brackets. This would 
facilitate filtering of messages into appropriate mail folders without 
having to scan all the headers looking for the right bit of information. 
As it is now, messages to the discuss list could contain 
disscuss at gnhlug.org or gnhlug-discuss@ or not even contain those if the 
message was a BCC. (Why you'd BCC to a list, I don't know, but you could.)


At the moment, I'm not filtering Gnhlug messages. I've also been 
receiving huge amounts of spam lately and haven't had the time to set up 
anti-spam measures on my mail server here at sigio.com. Seems that every 
weekend when I plan to do this, my wife comes up with some "more 
important" to do.

Anyway, I think that subject line tagging would be helpful. What do 
others think?
