As much as I hate "me, too" messages, I also LIKED having
[Mailing-list-name] at the top of the subject line.
Another method I use with some of my mailing lists is to add a unique
custom header (like X-ML-Name) that would identify the list - so if the
Subject line gets screwed up, or if I have two lists that are both
"[Palm-" something, I can still get my mail filed automatically.
I had been using either the Sender or Reply-To header to sort my mail
>from Palm-dev-forum, and was just about to gladly switch to the subject
scheme when it changed again...
