        What are you filtering with? Visually? or with something like
procmail? I filter by Reply-To, and From address, collectively, so I can
be sure it's going in the right place (with procmail). Visually, I can see
where it could be important, but also remember, that that leaves less room
for the actual text of the subject. Perhaps an acronym for it, like: 

Subject : [PDL] Re: Newsgroup name in subject

        ...where PDL == Palm Developer List or something similar. 5
characters. Calling it PDF could get confusing for those newbies that
don't know what it's on the subject for early on.
