So, in my opinion, communication is most effective if the recipient easily 
comprehends what is conveyed to him/her. I suspect most recipients of our 
e-mails do not know much about mutt except that you likely get it from a place 
other than a breeder.

So, [mutt-users@mutt.org: Email Subject] makes a lot of sense if the recipient 
has a clue what the first part means. Most of my recipients get a forward using 
mutt likely only from me. So, the original email address' import (which I think 
is a great idea) is lost. 

Hence I was suggesting putting in:

FW Frm mutt-users@mutt.org: Email Subject

Yes, it takes a few more characters but brings the benefit of greater clarity. 

Another option is to drop the [ ] and instead put in a >> at the very 
beginning. Might address the concern on adding characters. So, 

So, [mutt-users@mutt.org: Email Subject]

could become:

>>mutt-users@mutt.org: Email Subject

In the header, would be clearer?

Would this be a better default?

Thanks again!
