I agree with the O.P. on this. This is something that, surely, is easily
fixed at the server end, so that each message going out from the server
has, say, "[LyX]" prepended to the subject.
But we don't want that, so please don't wreck it on the server.
If you want to see "[LyX]", set up your own mail software to
add this to the mail that gets delivered to you.
Many other mailing lists do this. There should be no need for the
subscribers to have to filter.
And many other mailing lists don't mess with the subject. There
should be no need for users to suffer the messed-up headers.
Nobody _has_ to filter. If they want the mail in a single folder,
they can have that. Those of us who subscribe to several lists with some
volume, usually set up filtering to avoid a huge mess. And it'd be a
huge mess even if the subject fields were abused.
This list was created without subject manipulation, please just respect
that. I subscribe to some lists that do mangle the subject. I don't like
it, but I don't request a change. It is the list maintainter's choice to
make.
