Personally I *hate* it when mailing lists don't include the human-readable subject tags. When I have to dive into an alternate mail reader which doesn't do my filtering, it's very hard to find anything. It's also more difficult to identify search results when searching my archives if there are no subject tags.
On the other hand, I'm sure you're quite capable of removing the tags with a procmail filter if you don't like them. ;)
It would be nice if mailman had this as a per-subscriber setting, but it doesn't appear to be at present. If you can whip up a patch for mailman (or point out how to enable such a per-subscriber option if it is there), that would be great.
