That would make all the subject lines much longer.  On some displays,
this wouldn't be a problem, but on people with limited screen size
and/or poor eyesight (both apply to me; I can only comfortably fit
80x25 text on my netbook, which is my primary computer), the extra 15
characters would be most unwelcome.

FWIW, I sort based on the List-ID: field.  Both methods work, though.

since it _is_ easy to sort based on other aspects of the emails, I
don't see any benefit from adding [lilypond-user] to the subject
lines.

Thanks!  It's great to hear that all the hard work is appreciated.
