I vote for number 2, because this way I can recognize the messages of the
list easily.

incoming messages based on the subject prefix.  So, if you WANT there 
to continue to be a subject prefix, SPEAK UP!!!
> 3. Choice three sucks and if anyone wants this SPEAK UP so we know  just
how many people want this.  This is the least preferrable as it 
clutters the Subject header and makes the list harder to read through 
for those of us using a text based e-mail client.
> For those of you using procmail or a compatible filter, a good match 
for Full-Disclosure that relies on headers you will always see in list 
messages goes like this:
> :0:
> * ^Sender.*full-disclosure-admin@lists\.netsys\.com
> full-disclosure
>
> That matches this header:
>
> Sender: full-disclosure-admin () lists netsys com
>
> Alternately, you can tell your Pegasus/Mozilla/Outlook/OE/Whatever to
match on this header.
