Question for those who want the [GNC] prefix: Would having the email from be from the list (gnucash-user@gnucash.org) instead of the user (original sender) serve as well?
This would also help with the "remember to reply to the list" issue. Reply, Reply-all, Reply-list would include the list address. I believe the mailing list software would still put the original sender address in the headers so that an off-list reply would be possible. Some view this type of address munging as being bad but I believe that in the case of gnucash-user this is the de facto preference of the maintainers and developers.
