As John Levine points out, a subject prefix is not something that everyone
is forced to receive.  I'm asking that one be defined so that it becomes
easier to scan my inbox visually for messages from this list.  All of the
other lists I subscribe to support this feature, and it adds value to my
mail-reading experience, regardless of the MUA I use.

My MUA can filter on it, but if I automatically move mail away from my
Inbox to other folders, I forget to read them.  Out of sight->out of mind.  
That's not an MUA problem.  That's an attention deficit problem.  Dare to
suggest an MUA that solves that problem?  :)

Otherwise, why be such a grouch about it?
