The mailman setup that rewrites every message to add the list name to the
subject is what makes it really annoying to me, since I then get a copy of
each message for each list, each slightly different, increasing the amount
of mail to just delete and making threading all screwy when people respond
on different lists. (On Sun's internal lists, cross-posting is much less
painful, since I usually just get one copy, no matter how many lists I'm
subscribed to that got cc'ed.)
