Unfortunately, while those sorts of subject prefixes help some people, others (myself included) find them exceptionally annoying.  The most significant thing is that if your normal mail client window sizing displays say 20 characters of a subject line, and you add [ubuntu-ca] to that, you only have 9 characters left, and so have less than half as much information about the message as you did before.  What I have found vastly more useful is to turn on e-mail filtering (in my case, in Mozilla Thunderbird), and automatically move all messages with ubuntu-ca at lists.ubuntu.com in the TO or CC fields to a folder I have created (Local Folders > Ubuntu > Lists > canada, specifically).  Would that be a possibility for you?  Of the two dozen lists I subscribe to, only two have such things so far and I'd hate to see this one take up the practice (personally).
