Well, IMHO, the FVWM: prefix on the Subject: line (this doesn't appear
on the fvwm-workers list, by the way) is a godsend; I can glance at the
subject line to figure which mailing list the message comes from. If
you subscribe to multiple mailing lists, you may eventually find this a
help.

Majordomo DOES add the prefix, if the prefix isn't already there. But
only if it is told to do so in its configuration. The FVWM95 mailing
list also adds a prefix (FVWM95).
