I filter them out in my (python) procmail replacement. The
configuration file specifies mailing list information, e.g.:-
...
...
leafnode Li [email protected]
linux-usb Li [email protected]
mutt Li [email protected]
owfs Li [email protected]
Owfs-developers
palm Li [email protected] Palm
postfix Li [email protected]
raa Li [email protected]
...
...
The first column is the [mutt] alias for the list, the second is a
destination directory (in the ones shown they all go to ~/Mail/Li/<alias>)
the third column is the list E-Mail address, and the fourth column is
the text to be stripped out of the subject line (plus the []).

No mailing list I have come across needs what's between the [], they get
put there automatically on *every* message sent from the list so
removing them from replies has no effect at all on what others see.
