Right, the [Listname] in the Subject is configured in Mailman. I was
wondering what the mail client presentation filtering is that Doron
referred to.

I personally don't like them and strip them out (Mailman sets it up
automatically), but I'm going to vote +0 here because I also get the
value of a list name in a Subject when the email goes to the Inbox. (I
filter out other lists but e.g. infra@ goes to my inbox, which I do
with important lists I focus on throughout the day.)
