It was discussed when the @pidgin.im lists were first set up.  There
were strong opinions on both sides.  Those who filter their mail into
folders generally feel that the prefix is useless (any real mail client
can easily identify the mail based on other things), and obscures more
meaningful information (the subject of the email, particularly if the
thread gets long or the subject is inherently long).  Those who do not
filter their email into folders generally wanted the prefix, to identify
the emails in their inbox that come from lists. 

I felt the arguments coming from those who filter to be stronger.
