If it has to be short for those who use text based MUA, at least leave
this short one. It should not be such a deal to pass from extra 18 chars
in the subject to just 5, should it?

It is indeed easier.
One can of course also filter on headers, but in my situation - for
example - I don't filter at a server level (where i don't have access
myself) but at a client level.
And often I access my mail in IMAP from a DIFFERENT client (webmail,
anyone?)... and the subject line is very useful in SWIMMING through the
tons of UNFILTERED messages of this one an other lists, and getting to
those OTHER messages quicker....

In my opinion the good solutions are always "in between"... and not at the
extremes.... :)

Just my opinion.
