This is a totally unnecessary step, unless you want the tag to be different
than the list name.

I'm very opposed to changing subscriber's options without telling them.
It's one thing to make it the default, then explain in the welcome message
how to get rid of it. But many e-mail packages these days have filters, and
subject tags have no value when someone is filtering list mail into
respective mailboxes, as they (1) reduce the amount of the subject that
remains in the window, and (2) are full headers instead of short headers,
so more header lines are visible and the e-mails are larger.
