It's not an 'unjustified hatred' as much as it is that 50% of the people
don't like 'em, and 50% of the people do.  The people who don't like them
have their reasons, and the people that like them have their reasons.
Neither are necessarily going to believe or understand the other camps
reasoning.

There *is* a way to add the tag, just as there are other ways to filter.  As
with everything in the Unix world, TMTOWTDI.

As had been suggested, procmail does wonders for this.  I may have mis-read
that, but I didn't see it as anti-Microsoft.  I saw it as
pro-use-the-right-tool-for-the-job.  I'm not sure if postfix can modify
message headers on the fly, but I *do* know that if you run everything
through procmail on its way through your 'free linux/free spamassassin'
setup, you can easily do whatever you need, and work around whatever
limitations your other software packages have placed on your office, and
that you are forced to live with.

Perhaps the list moderators can step in and give the official list
standpoint on subject tags?
