just curious.
Non-authorative answer:
Probably decided a long time ago that mail clients could easily filter
on list identity present in (one of several) headers, so why not leave
more space for subject context. I'm assuming that long subjects get
truncated in many mail client list displays (as they do in, say, t'bird).
Guessing why you ask:
Maybe people do not pre-sort incoming mail via filters so much these days?

I actively use many filters on incoming mail. Friends into one folder
(generally tended to first), kplug in a folder, kooler (including
[kooler] subject line tags) in a sub-folder, and various other folders
for other things.
I didn't have time to do anything with email for about 3 weeks. I'm
having to hold myself back from replying to older kplug postings. I
already let a few out though. :(
Filtering allows me to glean most of the important ones out from the
rest and get to the hottest ones first.
I don't know if t-bird finally allows filtering for headers, but I've
managed so far without it.
