Thanks for the info :)  although actually I was thiking more along the
lines of being able to visually sort through my mail and at a glance find
certain messages.

Another neat trick is at least on the Cyrus IMAP server you can subscribe
to a list using a from name username+foldername@domain, then you can use
the Cyrus admin utility to create a folder with that foldername and set it
so anyone can post to it.

I'll probably be experimenting with this though :)

What we'd have to do is have it not add [seul-edu] if the subject starts
with a Re: already.  I believe that Majordomo already does that... if I'm
not mistaken...
