Please don't do this. I'm on other lists that do this and the [discuss-list]
text always gets munged around when the "Re:" is added. It looks ugly. And most
lists out there don't do this subject line trick.

If you want to filter your messages, then look for a header line that the
mailing list adds. For this list I'm filtering based on the "Sender:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]" header line. Works just fine.
