[] is the list's 'stamp' on mails, why insert it after Re:?

I am making sense, really! ;))


kind regards,

I suspect that it isn't that the list added the name after the Re:, but that the MUA left it there and added the Re: first, and the list saw that the tag was already in the message and left it there. This keeps the subject tidy.

If the list added a new one in front, you would get multiple list tags in the subject.

If the list also removed the old one, you are apt to get multiple Re: unless the list also removed those (which makes it harder to see which are replies) You will get the multiple Re: as the normal rule is add Re unless the message already begins with one, and your moved tag makes the re no longer in front, so it won't suppress adding it again.
