I believe what you're looking for is:

	# subject_prefix       [word] (undef) <resend>
	# This word will be prefixed to the subject line, if it is not
	# already in the subject. The text is expanded before being used.
	# The following expansion tokens are defined: $LIST - the name of
	# the current list, $SENDER - the sender as taken from the from
	# line, $VERSION, the version of majordomo.
subject_prefix      =   <ListName>
