You're missing the bigger picture. People are, generally, not
subscribed to a Linux mailing list to discussion topics other than
Linux. Every time someone posts, or replies to, an off-topic message,
that message is delivered to every list subscriber.
Yes, if the message has 'OT' in the Subject line, you can filter it once
the message has been delivered to your mailbox--but it's too late. The
bandwidth has already been wasted.
