[GNC] Addition of Mailing List Subject Prefix

[Adrien Monteleone]

I can see the X-mailer header. I’m aware of Claws Mail. The questions were rhetorical, sorry.

Interesting though that you have 154 filters shoveling mail into 80 folders (with 28 of them top level) yet you prefer to ‘filter’ gnucash-user without any of that...

You’re right, this is ridiculous.

Regards,
Adrien
