At the bottom of every mail there is a link to
https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/sounder
At the bottom of that page you have the text "Overview of all
lists.ubuntu.com mailing lists". It is linked to https://lists.ubuntu.com/
So yeah, the information is there, but you have to dig a little.

Probably not.
The most probable cause is a technical problem at your end. If the list
gets too many bounces from you then delivery is suspended. You are still
subscribed but you don't get emails.

There are different opinions. Did you know that every email from the list
gets a lot of list-related headers? For example your email got this:

To: sounder at lists.ubuntu.com
Old-List-Post: <mailto:sounder at lists.ubuntu.com>
Sender: sounder-bounces at lists.ubuntu.com
Errors-To: sounder-bounces at lists.ubuntu.com

Not every email client shows all the headers, but you have Thunderbird 3
and it has an option to show you the full header.

Some people use these headers to filter and classify their email. This is
usually much more relyable than random words that are prefixed to the
subject.

It's just a matter of personal taste. If you prefer to have a tag in the
subject, then you can pass all of your mail trough procmail and do some
magic there. If you have your own mailserver, which you may or may not
have.

I hope this explains it a bit.

Kind regards,
