Can someone put [Mailscanner] in the list subjects?

except that then we'll probably get some messages appearing with
[Mailscanner] in and some without and any hope of sensible threading will
go out of the window. I've seen it happen on other lists - you sometimes
end up with subjects like

Re: [listname] blah
and
[listname] Re: blah
and sometimes
[listname] Re: [listname} blah !

I vote for leaving it alone and using e.g. Sender: to filter messages to a
folder like I do now (if we're having a vote that is!)

Cheers,

Martin
