I dislike having the list software insert text into the Subject header.
There are already headers for that. Either List-Id (preferred) or X-Loop
(deprecated) would work for most people on this list. Procmail, Eudora,
Mozilla, Netscape, Evolution, and Outlook can filter incoming messages
based on any header.

Outlook Express and Yahoo can only filter on a few specific headers. I
don't know about MSN/Hotmail or any of the other webmail services.

Since you use elm, you might find this procmail recipe useful:


# Insert [RHL] into the Subject line of messages from the Red Hat List.
:0 f
* ^List-Id:.*<redhat-list.redhat.com>
* !^Subject:.*\[RHL\]
| sed -e "s/^Subject: /Subject: [RHL] /"


Filtering into folders makes it easier for me to prioritize my mail
processing. Inserting text in the Subject header reduces the amount of
relevant text that is visible in the message list.
