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.
