As the newbie who first raised this, I am humbled by the response!
Thanks for applying some much attention to what should probably be
a non-issue (and by the way, I've managed to make it work without the
subject tags in the meantime - even with Outlook).
I now sit back to watch the debate with continued interest, but
absolutely no stake in the outcome.
cheers

I'm personally opposed to the addition of Subject line tags, for the
reasons you'd cited. But no matter how eccentric or even weird my
ideas on list management might be, as host it's my duty to make this
space congenial to our needs -- and if the vocal majority wants 'em,
I'll put 'em in.
