For once, I actually agree with everything you said here. :)  I hate
the subject line munging because it adds a bunch of useless info to
the beginning of the subject line, making it harder to see the actual
metadata that makes it worth having a subject line in the first place.
On a list like this it's not so bad, but it gets really bad when
people cross-post to multiple lists, as happens at work more than I
would prefer...

BUT...  Last I knew a couple of very popular MUAs couldn't filter on
anything reasonable, and many of the users of such MUAs don't have a
choice what they run because it's dictated by their
employer/spouse/etc. so for those people it's the only recourse.
Sometimes, you have to make sacrifices for the greater good, even if
you are technically "in the right" (so to speak).
