or use the devel user list

I guess you get my point...

Personally I very much dislike any manipulation of the subject like. It 
just adds extra unnecessary rubbish, eating into the often already too 
short real estate given to this in many email readers.

If you want to filter your message automatically, which I do, do not use 
some random string in the subject line, but much better to filter on the 
  from or to addresses.

cheers Chris
