If you put the tag at the end of the line, not the beginning, it doesn't break sorting - all the articles of a given thread stay together. One difference between what you do and what some other mailing lists do is that cypherpunks uses multiple list servers, and yours munges the Subject: lines while the others don't. Most mailing lists that label their traffic use just one server; if they're using multiple servers, they're administered identically, so you don't have a mixture of munged and undamaged topics.
