Subject: Can I avoid nexted subject prefixes on nested lists?

We have a couple of lists that have other lists listed in them.

A hypothetical example to illustrate my problem...

"testers" lists all the people in our testing group
"coders" lists all our software writers

We have added "testers" to the list of people in the "coders" list.

Both "coders" and "testers" have $subject_prefix=[$LIST]

So, when someone sends email to "coders", the people on testers see
subject lines similar to...

   Subject: [testers][coders] fixed another bug

The "testers" would rather not see both these prefixes in the Subject
line, they want to see only the original list's prefix, ie. [coders].

But, of course, they do want their own prefix when testers is the list
that was sent to.

Does anyone know if I can make this work without having to dig in an
modify the majordomo software's guts?

I have probably half a dozen such lists.

We are running version 1.94.
