For a similar reason I _don't_ like the subject tag.

I like to filter my list subscriptions into gmail 'labels' - which
gives me a colour coded way of spotting what I need(?) to see first,
and also a good way of catching up on all of the mails from one
particular list quickly.

Doing it like this means I get {Ubuntu-Art}[ubuntu-art]Subject

And when we add tags to emails it gets even worse!
{Ubuntu-Art}[ubuntu-art][blubuntu]Subject

Which saddens me :P - I don't get to see all of the subject quite often

Al, in your situation isn't there a way to make your mail client add
some tag to the subject? Also - from the other free software mailing
lists I'm on, tagging seems like quite rare behaviour? Do you have a
system for those other lists that don't tag that works?

I'd be very happy with a shorter tag [ua], for example, would solve my problem.
