Subject:[Vanagon] Header Lines (Was: Re: List up!)
From:Wes Neuenschwander

Personally, I'd rather *not* see [Vanagon] tacked onto the Subject header.
It will just clutter the subject lines, making them more difficult to read
(and too long to display in many cases).

And it's really superfluous in any case, since the 'vanagon list'
information is already in the From and Reply To header lines.  This makes
it really easy - in most email programs - to set up a filter that
automatically routes all Vanagon List messages to a separate, vanagon,
folder.  A lot cleaner, and generally more reliable, solution than tacking
"Vanagon" onto each message Subject line and manually screening and
sorting each message.
