Yes.

First, you should probably ask this on the mj2-dev@csf.colorado.edu list 
-- most people here are Mj1 users and have no idea what you're asking.  :)

Second: subject_prefix says what the prefix is FOR USERS WHO HAVE THE 
"prefix" FLAG  SET; it's a per-user choice.

If you want to see the prefix, you need to

	set mdwg-aviation prefix

for yourself.  If you want that to be the default behavior, add "prefix" to the list's "default_flags" setting.  If you don't want to allow subscribers to turn it off, remove it from "allowed_flags."  If you have current users and want to apply it to all of them, you need to
       set-pattern-allmatching mdwg-aviation prefix /./

(which says for all addresses where one character matches 'any character' -- that is, all addresses -- do the "set" operation.)

See answer #1 but replace "subject_prefix" with "reply_to" and "prefix" 
with "replyto".

The bottom line is that these settings are per-subscription flags in 
Mj2, and the per-list settings only set the value for subscriptions that 
have the flags on.
