Since this blows away some other settings they might have (FULL822,
DUALHDR, etc.) you might not want to do this.  A better option might
be to send a message to the mailing list saying "If you want to
receive the mailing list mail with [whatever] prepended to the
subject line, send mail to LISTSERV@[wherever] with the command SET
listname SUBJECT in the body of the message."  That way the
subscribers can pick and choose whether or not they want it.

Alternatively, you could announce beforehand that you're going to do
this and ask if it's going to cause anyone any problems.
