...users that have modern mail agents with proper filtering
capabilities.

I don't need a subject prefix to help sort my mail. The Sender 
header can be used to sort for me. I use Eudora this way when I read
mail online, and procmail to do it for me when I am on vacation.

BTW, the best subject-prefixed lists use ~6 chars or less. Anything
more and it takes away from the more important information contained 
in the subject. "[Majordomo-Users]" would have been way too long.
