Actually I think she's referring to the common practice of some List Servers 
to add a "[user-L]" type label to the beginning of the subject.  This is the 
only list I'm subscribed to that doesn't do that.  I wouldn't mind it, even 
though I have a rule setup to send all email with recipient of "kubuntu-
users at lists.ubuntu.com" to the "Kubuntu" folder.

I think something like "[kubuntu] subject goes here" wouldn't be a bad thing.
(you could add -dev to the development list, -ann for announcements, etc.
