This is a rehash of an age old argument. Frankly, I have to side with the non-traditionalists on
the matter.
Tradition says that list mail not have subject prefixes. Tradition says to filter mail on the
reciepient, which should be the list. But tradition also says the internet is for academic use
only and all commercial activity is severely discouraged. Any email with commercial content
would be a gross violation of netiquette and websites for commercial purposes would be unheard
of. Sometimes traditions change.
In today's world, many people are using IMAP boxes where filtering is not effective or even
possible. An indication on the subject line that the message is list mail would be a great
benefit in such a case.

} I have to manually move all of this mail to a separate directory, but
} a subject prefix would automate the process and make things easier.
Separating the messages on the basis of the Sender: header containing
"majordomo-users-owner" works well.
