Good, glad the lists are helpful to you!

You can already use several different header fields for this; the one
I've found to be most reliable for the FreeBSD lists is the "Sender:"
header.

(I think this has been a topic of discussion on almost every mailing 
list I've subscribed to in the past ten years.  In some cases, 
arguments for and against adding tags to the subject header have 
reached religious fervor.  I hope that doesn't happen here (again)!)
