Um - I haven't seen this happen on a single list - so you're saying that
you don't want this in case something happens which won't happen.

And I didn't because having email scattered around a whole lot of
different mail folders annoys me.
To make this clear: I do NOT want to move YDL (or any othe mailing list)
to a separate folder. So please stop suggesting that I should.
Adding a prefix to the subject line does not affect anyone. I fail to
see why people are objecting.
