And honestly, of the 25 or so mailing lists that
I'm on, this is the
ONLY ONE that doesn't do subject tagging.
I'm not sure whether that's a reason to do it or a reason to not do it.
And my experience is quite the opposite. I did a quick look over my
incoming mail since beginning of Sunday (that's when I roll over my
incoming mail archive). Out of 854 messages, almost all of them list
traffic (19 different List-Id: headers), I see, if I've counted right,
27 messages from 5 distinct lists with subject tags. I may have missed
some, but not very many.
I like it that way. Subject tags don't bother me enough for me to go
to the trouble of making my software strip them, but I don't like them;
"mildly annoying" is probably about right.
