AFAICT, this is true of all the auto-generated mailing list pages,
including the commons-site one.
So it's not surprising that users often fail to use the appropriate prefix.
There does not appear to be any way to add any header text to the
mailing list report, nor to change the existing text.
As the mailing lists are shared, and changes are rarely needed, maybe
one solution would be to create an ordinary page on commons-site, and
link all the projects to that.
Thoughts?

Would there be any benefit to including a subject with the correct
moniker in the Post URL's?

Maybe we just need to have commons-build gen a mailing list page
that includes the text and replace the maven default.
