Can we drop this tag on all list emails? All clients offer ways to filter email from lists. In some readers, this tag makes it harder to read the actual subject line to tell what the message is about. IIRC common Fedora netiquette is to not use this tag.
By the way, you can use the header List-Id to filter easily. You can use the term "list:magazine@lists.fedoraproject.org" in Gmail's filters as well. Most other web based email UIs have similar functions.

I should have noted, it made sense when we were on the Marketing list, so people there could filter! Now, maybe not so much. :-)

Ahh, this was definitely something I enabled… I thought it was a convenience to have and was thinking of having it present for some of my filters I was hoping on setting up soon in Thunderbird. I really only added the prefix to the benefit of my own workflow. But if it's affecting others and nobody else minds, I think it would be fine to remove.
It's more of a personal preference of mine, but I think I just need to maybe set up filters sometime. :)

Just following up on this... I was thinking about disabling this, unless there are strenuous objections.

I have no objections here. Since that email, I finally set up filtering too, so will no longer affect my workflow.

+1 to using headers only and dropping the subject prefix :-)
