 because it's got no subject.
 
 Or at least respond to subjectless messages with a subject...
 
 Thanks!
 

Thank you for saying; I thought it was just me.

But what's weird is:

1) most of the time the subject appears in the headers when I select the
message to read (in Thunderbird), and the messages are correctly
threaded; the subject just does not appear in the folder list;

2) In my last reply to a message I specifically copied and pasted the
subject (from an earlier message in the same thread which does have a
subject) before sending, but having just gotten the message, my subject
does not appear.

So I don't know what's going on, but at least it's not some weird
Thunderbird extension, or my ISP...

Same problems here.  I suspect the list mail program is stripping something.
Cheers,

Our mailing list software is throwing a hissy fit and inserting double
subject lines. It might be confusing some email clients...
