I see, you are talking about your own prefixes, not [Mailman-Users] specifically. What is in [] doesn't need to match the list name exactly (or at all, although obviously it is better if it matches somewhat). So you could shorten to e.g. "[pdoc][rsrch] Seminar tomorrow on ..." Perhaps some of the top lists don't need a tag?
