A problem with [thing] is that it makes the subject line longer and may
result in truncation. I would ask that if added it is *appended* not
*prepended*.
What I do is divide mail into groups. All mail from this list already
contains a header line like
List-Id: Users list for the GNU Emacs text editor <help-gnu-emacs.gnu.org>
At least in gnus it is easy to divide mail by different List-Id's
