It's easy enough to add your own, using procmail (esp. if you're already using
it). I prefer to do my own tagging and subject cleanup simply because of the
many variations out there. This way, YOU have complete control over the
presentation and sorting in YOUR client without any specific format being
imposed on all. (Besides, I HATE those "Re: Re: Re:" monstrosities!)

Just a thought.
