Personally I hate lists, that mangle with the subject, because it is 
redundant. I can see from the 'To:'-Line, whether it's a list mail or a 
personal one. Of course, you have to use a mail reader that supports 
customizing the fields displayed in ones message overview :-) (e.g. mutt)

But i could live with [gnokii], if i had to. :-)
