That's an extremely bad idea.  Subject-line tags are an unreliable,
and inferior way to distinguish mailing list traffic. The proper way
to do this is via RFC 2369 headers, see:

	http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2369.html

which this list already supports. If your mail client can't parse
and utilize those headers, then it's broken and should be repaired
or replaced.

(See also: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2919.html, and please note
commentary on it here: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/mail/miss-mailers/)
