I agree with the original poster. I would like to see the MLs subject 
lines prefixed with "[xfce]" or similar. And yes, I know I can easily 
filter the messages into a separate folder. I prefer not to do that. I 
visually sort my inbox picking out the spam that gets through both my 
ISP's filter and Thunderbird's filter (and there's a lot!). The problem 
is that the poster will sometimes write a subject line that looks like a 
spam message or is ambiguous. Like "question" or "Forum update". If a 
message has the [xfce] tag on it I know I can open it without being 
disgusted.

Another reason is that I could look at my xfce folder and immediately 
spot messages that are mis-filed. That works well with other lists that 
I'm on.

Seems to me like a small price to pay.

Thanks for listening.
