Why not invent a taxonomy for prepending to message SUBJ
lines, whereupon people would have a defined list of
delimiters to filter with their email client, e.g.:

[ASP] Re: [thelist] dynamic dropdown lists
[CF] Re: Re: RE: [thelist] CFINCLUDE (was: includes)
[CRIT] [thelist] Site Review/Critique requested
[HDWR] Re: [thelist] Dual AGP slots???
[HSP] [thelist] Good Linux host needed.

Of course, it would be up to us to be diligent, and maybe
you could even build a popup cheatsheet for the codes, but
it sure would make life nicer. Wonder if the listserver
could split the subj lines and shove the bracketed term to
the front of the string for when it creeps inward on
replies.
