Please take the time to change the subject line if responding - on wikien-l it was a common trick for a long time for trolls to slander people by putting an accusation right there in the subject line, confident it would be spread every time the thread was continued, and I would suggest it would be better for all (and possibly even rational discussion on the actual subject, rather than one-note advocates continuing the fine legacy of Bonaparte for whatever purpose as this one took pain to) if you could all take care with the subject line.

In practice, it's most workable if the people on a list are aware of it and don't put up with it. Then the action needed from the moderator is minimised.

Yes, but you could build it into GNU mailman. I'm sure the language its written in has some sort of str_replace() / replace() function.
