Subject lines prepended with "[AXIS-USERS] "

Can we change this list to have all subject lines be prepended with 
"[AXIS-USERS] "?

Thanks

 Yes it sounds good.

I disagree entirely, it's not redundant. The problem is that, the 
reply-to address is the list address and, the from address is set to 
whoever sent it. Because this problem generally only appears on 
mailing-lists, people dont want to have to add a column to their mail 
viewer (the reply-to field), just for a certain group of mailings. 
Furthermore, if the list name was prepended, the user is able to 
visually parse the source and therefore, what is normally in the domain 
of fancier mail programs now becomes possible to a larger number of 
client programs. Just because MS Outlook has filtering, dont expect 
every other mail-reader to as well.

Can we please add this to the list server.

Why? If you need this for filters, why not just filter by the email 
address?  I think the axis-user@ws.apache.org address implies that it's 
for axis users, adding the same label to the subject line seems redundant.
