[SDL] Subject line contains but there's X-Been-There header as well

Heyas,
Originally this email was going to ask whether SDL had considered using 
the X-Mailing-List header, but I decided I first best look at the 
existing headers. Lo and behold, there's an X-Been-There. So why the 
[SDL] in the Subject field? Surely that's adding (admittedly 
insignificant) extra processing, as well as wasting space and telling me 
stuff I can find elsewhere within the mail. Personally I prefer 
X-Mailing-List as I think it's more obvious, and matches nicely with (at 
least) Linux ACPI list, amongst other's I'm subscribed to - but to each 
their own, I guess.

Yes, I'm a lurker - of many mail lists so don't take it personally. I've 
finally decided to look at setting up a real rule here to move the SDL 
mail into it's correct folder for me. Hence I'm on my high-horde again ;)

Regards,

Me.
