Been through this on another list. Consensus there was that it's a rotten
idea. Plenty other headers to use to filter. Causes problems with many
mailers: folk can't see the really interesting part of the subject which is
NEVER [the name of this mailing list inserted here]
I suggest sorting on any of these:

I don't flame people. However, if I see a stoopid idea I say so, and your
first qualifies.
