There is no one specific person, per se, but I am one of the people that

So far, we have not done that on any of our lists. Mostly historical
precedent, I think. I am not terribly averse to putting a tag in the
subject line for the -newbie list. Most decent mail clients can filter
on an arbitrary header, and this list has one that can be filtered on:

List-Id: Friendly list for people new to Linux <kplug-newbie.kernel-panic.org>

If your mail client can filter on that header, then no -newbie messages
will ever make it into your spam folder. If your client cannot do that,
then yes, the [KPLUG-newbie] tag in the Subject: makes a very nice
visual clue.


In summary, I am not averse to the tag, but I see no pressing need to
add one. I prefer to help people use the tools they have, as the tools
can also help with other non-list issues (like those emails from
grandma, that have no subject line at all!)
