hello,
would it be possible to change the [linux-audio-user] and
[linux-audio-dev] subject markers to something shorter? [LAU] and [LAD]
would be great. they make the subject lines rather unreadable,
especially on a 80-character pine, but even on a mail client with
adjustable column width (and certainly in combination with thread-view)
i realize this will break filtering for people who filter on subject,
but this is bad practice anyway (use List-Id instead), and it only has
to be fixed once.

Hi;
I hate all those [blah blah blah] things that a lot of lists
use.
So, I just use procmail rules like this:
:0 fwh: audiolock2
* ^Sender:.*linux-audio-user
| sed -e '/^Subject:.*\[linux-audio-user\]/s/ \?\[linux-audio-user\] //'
:0 A
$MAILDIR/audio-user
And I never even see this stuff in the subject line of any
of the mailing lists I subscribe to. The first rule just matches
LAU messages, and cuts out the tag. The second rule matchs anything
the preceeding rule did and saves it in my 'audio-user' folder.
I dont know how useful this would be for anyone else, but
I thought I would share;)
