It's not needed so why should it be done?

Using procmail something like this:

:0:
* ^(list-id|X-beenthere|Sender):.*mysql
mysqlbox

Might do the trick. You will need to add more to this like maildir and that 
kind of stuff to be able to use procmail. To procmail it doesn't really 
matter if you are filtering on subjectline having [mysql] or the list-id 
having mysql.

I'm on at least a dozen lists and some add it, others don't.. In fact, 
about 4 lists are adding a [listname] to the subjectline. The other 14 
don't. All of them are tech lists..
