[GNC] Addition of Mailing List Subject Prefix

[Les]

Adrien:

You have hit the nail on the head!

Given all the time given to this thread, I think it is high time to end

In fact, in his reply, he noted that he does physically filter mail into some 80 folders with about 154 different filtering rules. He just doesn’t *feel* like doing it with the list.
